Arno Fischer: The Garden1 review Thomas Martin, Arno Fischer Hatje Cantz, 2007 Great mood This book is SO wonderful. It is poetic, has great pictues and is very well printed. One of my favourites. I wish the publisher enabled us to look inside this book!             Dog Days Bogota1 review Steidl, 2007 Amazing images! I am so clearly biased, as my wife and i adopted a baby girl from Bogota, Colombia in February of 2007. These images were part of our journey, adn speak to us on a very personal level. But, having shared the book with many non-adoptive friends and aquaintences, I know they speak to them as as ...             True Color1 review powerHouse Books, 2007 True Photography Technical finesse obviously doesn't matter to Mark Cohen. After leafing through the pictures again and again, I was hit by the realization that his playful, even wild, camera technique is brought on by an instant perception of something significant in his surroundings that he, in nanoseconds, ...             The Hyena & Other Men Adetokunbo Abiola, Pieter Hugo Prestel USA, 2008 Many myths surround the Hyena Men who haunt the peripheries of Nigeria s cities. Accompanied by hyenas, rock pythons and baboons, these men earn a living by performing before crowds and selling traditional medicines. Pieter Hugo s extraordinary portraits of their liminal existence reveal an uncanny world of complex, codependent relationships, where familiar distinctions between dominance and ...             Suzi et Cetera Walther Konig, 2007 In the early 1980s, before Glasnost and Perestroika, Boris Mikhailov made this series of photographs in his home town of Charkow, in the Ukraine. Mikhailov is best known for his ruthlessly honest documentation of the problems of Soviet and Russian daily life; this work, which has never been published before, is sometimes gentler.             One Eye Charles Burns Drawn and Quarterly, 2007 Through the Lens of a Master Cartoonist One Eye is a collection of paired photographs by Charles Burns that captures the strange undertones of a staggering range of objects and locales. From urban and pristine landscapes to flesh and food, the visual combinations are at the same time ambiguously uneasy and starkly coherent. Sandwiched together without room to breathe, the images are given ...             Joakim Eskildsen: The Roma Journeys1 review Cia Rinne Steidl, 2007 A stunningly rich portrait of contemporary Gypsy life This book is wonderful for its abundance of truly great, intimate, revealing photographs -- and for its intelligent and insightful brief texts about a Gypsy culture that has been little understood for centuries. The book is arranged in seven main sections, each representing an in-depth ...             Tom Sandberg: Photographs 1989-2006 Bob Nickas Galleri Riis/P.S.1, 2008 Tom Sandberg's photographs made a splash at New York's P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center in February of 2007. Though previously almost unknown to the American public, Sandberg, born in 1953, has quietly produced, over three decades, a superb oeuvre of austere, large-scale black-and-white photography. Focusing on a single object or person in each photograph, and steeping them in a murky, wintry light, ...             United States, 1970-19751 review Steidl & Folkwang Museum, Essen, 2007 Down and out snaps If you click onto Jacob Holdt's fascinating website and read a bit about him you'll find out that he "...was never interested in photography as art so few of my pictures can stand alone..." yet Steidl have published this book, in the classic photo book format of one image to a spread, as ...             On the Beach6 reviews Aperture, 2007 RICHARD MISRACH + Out of body experience + Intriguing + L.A.R.G.E. + Very Fine             Summer Colors (Book & CD) Happy Books, 2007             Hawaii Daido Moriyama Nazraeli, 2007 "In Spring, I am going to go to Hawaii to photograph. Im so excited, and a little anxious - I've never been there before. The idea of Hawaii has been stuck in my mind for many, many years, just as the idea of a place. I try to imagine what its like, and I have a certain image of it - a nostalgic place, a place where time has stopped. When I get there, I'll probably find out its nothing like ...             Lars Tunbjork: Vinter Steidl/Swedish Books/Moderna Museet, 2007 "I often feel beside myself in the wintertime, and I try to go to warmer and lighter places. But the last couple of years I have traveled into the winter and darkness instead--into areas, conditions and encounters in which I don't really know where the outer and inner begin. And even less where they end." Lars Tunbjork's photographic explorations of northern Sweden capture the atmosphere of the ...             Spessi: Location Stephanie Cash The Fishfactory Iceland, 2007 In her catalogue essay to this remarkable new collection of photographs of the Icelandic landscape and other abandoned or emptied-out environments there, Art in America's Stephanie Cash writes, "There is a sense of comforting ordinariness that pervades the work of Icelandic artist Spessi. His subjects aren't grandly majestic or fashionably downtrodden. They just are. In various series Spessi has ...             John Gossage: The Complete Berlin Books (Putting Back the Wall & Berlin In the Time of the Wall) Gossage John, Badger Gerry, ...

Along with coyotes and tumbleweeds, saguaro cacti are one of the most recognizable (and stereotypical) features of this region. Klett's portraits of these giant desert plants are straightforward and frontal. ...             Henri Cartier-Bresson: Scrapbook5 reviews Thames & Hudson, 2007 Process of Selection + Excellent + An essential book + Excellent buy             Stephen Gill: Archaeology in Reverse Nobody, 2007 Stephen Gill has learnt this: to haunt the places that haunt him. His photo-accumulations demonstrate a tender vision factored out of experience; alert, watchful, not overeager, wary of that mendacious conceit, "closure." There is always flow, momentum, the sense of a man passing through a place that delights him. A sense of stepping down, immediate engagement, politic exchange. Then he remounts ...             Passing Through Eden: Photographs of Central Park3 reviews Steidl, 2007 The best photography book I've bought in YEARS! + Eden, According to Papageorge I have spent the last few years feeling underwhelmed by most photographers' work & photography books I've seen....and then I received this book in the mail.
