Biography
Carol grew up in Jericho, New York and later attended the School of Visual Arts and The New School for Social Research where he studied under Lisette Model.[3]
Carol's first book, 40 Miles of Bad Road... (2004), a collection of photographs from 1993–2003, and second book, All My Lies are True..., were each selected as "Best Book of the Year" by Photo District News.[4] His third 'book' "This is Why We Can't Have Nice Things!" (2011), was in fact a collection of photographs stored inside a lucite box, a contraption which Carol calls a "non-book."[5]
