Michael Galinksy/Steidl
In 1989, then-20-year-old photographer Michael Galinsky set out on a cross-country tour of America's cultural and social hubs of the day -- shopping malls.
The images he took on that trip, which began at the Smith Haven Mall in Long Island and stretched from coast to coast, have recently been collected into a book.
"Malls Across America," published by Steidl in November, features 62 of Galinksy's pictures documenting the unique spaces and people that defined mall culture in the 1980s.
