First Edition. Near Fine book in a Very Good dust jacket. Shirley Carter Burden was born in New York City, a descendant of the famed millionaire Cornelius Vanderbilt; he became infatuated with photography, and after graduating from the Browning School in 1926, went to work for Pathe News, and subsequently would work in Hollywood with Merian C. Cooper. After the end of World War II, Burden opened a photography studio in Beverly Hills that specialized in still shots for advertising agencies and architectural firms. From there, he expanded into publishing photo essays concerning various topics including "God Is My Life", a photo essay about the Trappist monks at the Abbey of Our Lady of Gethsemani in Tennessee, and "I Wonder Why", which depicted incidents in a young black girl's life, particularly her dealings with racial prejudice. His family established the Burden Professorship in Photography at Harvard University in 1999.

It is a relationship to something or someone. Shirley Burden's sensitive presence to concrete things is recorded in these photographs and in his commentary. He details patterns on a street in Los Angeles and discovers humorous groupings of chairs in a French park. A dead pigeon epitomizes the fruit of his search through the abandoned buildings of Ellis Island. He reveals a special presence to people like Dorothea Lange and the pilgrims at Lourdes - and they reveal theirs to him. He is also present to the invisible world of faith through his experience at the Abbey of our Lady of Gethsemani and at Lourdes, where the past, present, and future seem to come together for him in the realization of a Presence that is beyond all words and photographs - yet is nonetheless somehow present in them." (Thomas Keating).
