Join us for an evening with photographer and author, Leonard Volk,


Interabang Books

EVERYDAY is a book of photographs and essays by Leonard Volk, FAIA emeritus, a retired architect. The book contains selected photographs and essays from more than 60 years of personal photography.

“The images are more than visual; they are loaded with content, stories, and evoke emotions rarely projected. This is much more than a collection of excellent photographs: in a quiet way, it tells the story of everyday with high drama.”
--HAL BOX, FAIA, former dean of the School of Architecture, the University of Texas at Austin

Books will be available for sale at the event. Please call the store to reserve your copy. 214-484-4289

Volk was born in Dallas, Texas, in 1928. He graduated from Yale University with a Bachelor of Arts in American Studies in 1949, and from MIT with a Bachelor of Architecture in 1959. Volk served in the U.S. Army Counter Intelligence Corps from 1952 to 1955 and discovered his passion for photography in Limburg, Germany while he was traveling Europe. Volk purchased his first professional camera in 1950—a Leica IIIc. After studying architecture at MIT, Volk returned to Dallas and practiced architecture for thirty years while leading a volunteer career while working on community goals, neighborhood improvement, and affordable housing. Since retiring from architecture and volunteering in 1955, Volk has focused on personal photography, working on a backlog of images accumulated since 1950 and publishing a photography and essay book, ‘everyday.’ Volk will be discussing ‘everyday’ and the inspiration behind it.
