—Cynthia Connolly, photographer, curator and publisher of Banned in DC

Finally dropping on February 13th, celebrated photographer and filmmaker Jim Saah will release
the much anticipated second edition of his sold-out book, IN MY EYES: PHOTOGRAPHS 1982-1997 (March 10, 2024; Cabin 1 Books). Saah was overjoyed and humbled by the demand for this collection of legendary punk music photography when it was originally published with a very limited run in October 2021. Saah and Cabin 1 Books are reissuing the collectible, LP-sized hardcover book to meet the eager and constant requests from fans.

Decades in the making, the collection features many of Saah's most iconic photographs from the fertile early Washington, D.C. punk scene and beyond. Its sprawling 332 pages of black- and-white images capture both the spirit of the time and Saah’s relentless work ethic—armed with a camera and countless rolls of film, Jim was ubiquitous within the D.C. scene. In My Eyes: Photographs 1982-1997 serves as a living document of all of those years of hard work.

IN MY EYES: PHOTOGRAPHS 1982-1997
features hundreds of impressive (and never- before-seen) photos of punk and hardcore legends such as: Fugazi, Minor Threat, Void, Black Flag, Circle Jerks, Dead Kennedys, Jawbox, Government Issue, The Faith, Iron Cross and more. But Saah’s musical palette wasn’t just confined to punk rock, as evidenced by the inclusion of The Cramps, The Pixies, Lou Reed, Guided by Voices, Fishbone, Wilco, to name a few. The hardcover book closes with
several intimate interviews between Saah and longtime friends/fans including Ian MacKaye (Minor Threat, Fugazi), J. Robbins (Jawbox), Jon Langford (Mekons), artist Shepard Fairey, and photographers Cynthia Connolly and Patrick Graham.

IN MY EYES: PHOTOGRAPHS 1982-1997 is by far the most comprehensive photographic music document of its kind, vividly capturing the essence of a time and a place—with all of punk's original passion, energy and total abandon still very much intact within its pages. Per Saah, “The punk music I found changed the way I look at the world. Ultimately, punk music gave me the ability to think for myself and let music and art open my mind.”
