Terra: Struggle of the Landless (Photography) 3 reviews Sebastiao Salgado
Phaidon Press, 1998
A mirror pointed at our soul
+ A lesson in empathy!!! + Will blow you away, you will not know yourself...
Once again, Sebastiao Salgado is back, and with two heavy weights by his side: Jose Saramago (preface) and Chico Buarque (poems).
Like all his previous works, the camera that made `Terra' points to the heart of all human being worthy of that classification; with Chico's poems pointing at each ones ...

The Mennonites 2 reviews Larry Towell
Phaidon Press, 2000
A book for life
+ a beautiful book
Reviewing a photo book is extremely subjective. I first read this book 5 years ago when I started college and wasn't impressed by it. I picked it up again last year and see the pictures with new eyes. The pictures and writing create a piece of literature more about humanity, independence and ...

Hutterites of Montana 3 reviews Laura Wilson
Yale University Press, 2000
Artfully Told
+ Sere Perfection On A Black-White Plane
Once in awhile, you find a book that outstrips others and stands on its' own. This isn't the glam photography of Annie Liebowitz, the sexually overt Herb Ritts, nor is it the intentionally odd portraiture of Diane Arbus. This is an artist in the same league as Ansel Adams, Richard Avedon, Galen ...

Watt Matthews of Lambshead 1 review Laura Wilson, David McCullough
Texas State Historical Association, 1989
Fascinating photos and story about a 5'5" Texas giant
I originally bought this book for my Grandmother, who grew up on a ranch in West Texas. I loved it so much that I bought one for myself. Watt Matthews was one of the giants of Texas ranching. This book shows and tells part of his story. Unfortunately he is now dead, after a long life. He was ...

En Divina Luz: The Penitente Moradas of New Mexico 2 reviews
Univ of New Mexico Pr, 1994
An extremely beautiful book on a mysterious subject.
+ Beautiful book, beautifully produced about sacred places
I am a landscape photograper, like Mr. Varjabedian is, but not as good. His photographs are some of the best I have ever seen in my entire life, even better than Ansel Adams. This book is about "Los Hermanos Penitentes," or the Penitent Brothers, a Catholic lay brotherhood that was founded ...
