Not the greatest
Evidently Joel's main claim to fame is his relationship with Garry Winogrand. Certainly the photographs in this book don't put him in the same class as Winogrand or Winogrand's other contemporaries. Unfortunately, Joel has added self-congratulatory comments to the pictures in this book. The combination of mediocre photographs and unfortunate comments is likely to leave the reader with a feeling ...

Chronicle Books, 2008

review of Jona Frank's photo journal 'Right'
'Right' is a photo journal by Jona Frank covering Patrick Henry College which is often referred to as the Evangelical Ivy League and sometimes the Homeschool College. Photographs were high quality and essays interesting. There was obviously some wondering why students would be intently focused on their goals and education. A sense of destiny is generally portrayed and reflects a unique element in ...

African Americans in Art
Great resource for those with an interest, or who would like to study African-American Art (or as I prefer, American Art from the perspective of an African-American artist).

This is cause for celebration, and Westerbeck, the museum's curator of photography, and his contributors, including former Vogue editor Rosamond Bernier and anthropologist Edmund Carpenter, who ...
