High Exposure Hollywood Lives Found Photos From the Archives of the Los Angeles Times

5 reviews
Amanda Parsons

Los Angles Times, 1999

Fresh and introspective take on Hollywood
High Exposure is quite a nice coffee-table book, filled with all the glitz and glamour you might expect from a book detailing the inner lives of the elite of Hollywood in the 1950's. The truly remarkable thing about the book, however, is not its attempt to reveal the secrets of Hollywood, glorified or not, (as it seems there are millions of books that do just that) but that it is primarily a ...

Rear Ends: Found Photos

Abrams Image, 2007

A well-culled and entertaining collection.
A very entertaining collection of photos that would be a perfect off-beat gift for anyone who enjoys found art - especially of real people by real people. The lay-out is clean, not cluttered and allows the well chosen snapshots speak for themselves. Plus half the fun is bringing your own story to each of these images. For anyone who appreciates found art, this one tells a great tale with a very ...

Salvaged: The Art of Jason Felix

Astonishing
"Astonishing" is just one of many Stan-Lee-superhero-comic-esque prefixes I could use to describe Jason Felix's new art book. Once you see yourself I'm sure you'll call it amazing, incredible, or something similar yourself. Jason's art is a breathe of fresh air. The last time I got an artistic rush like this was the first time I saw Dave McKean's 'Sandman' covers. Jason has embraced & ...

A little treasure of intimate moments
I recently came across this book, and I love it. I work in the Graphic Design Department for the Royal Shakespeare Company, Stratford-upon-Avon. As a keen photographer and lover of traditional photography, I find this book refreshing and uplifting. It is full of images that have captured a particular moment between man and woman. It reminds the viewer of a time when a photograph was a valued ...

FOUND Polaroids

Great coffetable book for those who appreciate the beauty of a Polaroid
True, this book is simplistic in its photo descriptions, but the photos really do the talking. Don't expect to get a voyeuristic glimpse into the lives of complete strangers; the photos are more subtle than that. From descriptions that I have read, I get the feeling that this is more of an "art book" than the other Found books. There is an indescribable charm surrounding this photography ...

Peter Fischli & David Weiss: Equilibres

1 review

Walther Konig, 2007

Exquisite, Gutsy
Like all of Fischli and Weiss' books, this book-long sequence of photographs and witty captions is both youthful and cerebral. Each time I pull it off the shelf I have a new experience. The closest analogue is that of the novel or the memory of reading a novel, experiencing that. These two artists are the masters of squeezing blood from stones. In this work I identify (with) an ...

Found in Brooklyn

W. W. Norton & Company, 1996

Thomas Roma's Photographic Discovery of Brooklyn
Starting in 1974 photographer Thomas Roma began capturing a diverse range of images for 16 years from architecture to daily life on the streets of Brooklyn. "Found in Brooklyn" was my introduction to Roma's keen eye for detail and superb usage of light, rendering Brooklyn in a warm white glow that reminded me most of the deep-blue skies of the Southwestern United States (Though I would agree with ...

This is the cutest book! The photos are incredible. I wanted a book to set out on my coffee table and this is perfect. The photos are so adorable. I have even tried with my dogs to have a photo session. I would highly reccommend this short pictorial book to anyone who love newfies or anyone who loves unique photos of dogs and interaction with other animals.******

Sally M. Walker

Carolrhoda Books, 2002

Out of the Depths
The mysteries of the ocean just keep on amazing me! This is a superbly written book about a fish, the coelacanth, that was thought to be extinct. Ms. Walker presents a tremendous amount of material in a highly readable manner. Her well-chosen photographs, drawings, and maps compliment her rich text. Ms. Walker has written clearly, bringing together comprehensive scientific research into a ...

Found Lives: A Collection of Found Photographs

James Nocito

Gibbs Smith Publishers, 1998

Unique perspective on old photographs created by Nocito.
In Found Lives, James Nocito has devised a unique method of utilizing his many old photographs, either given to him or collected at various estate and tag sales. Through careful scrutiny of the elements in the photograph (the people, expressions, angles, shadows, background, etc.) Nocito has created new and imaginitive lives and situations for the subjects. In one, an outdoor scene under tall ...
