For one, it shows the work of about 15 photographers (not including--so sad--the LUG's Adrian Bradshaw). And it does so one section per photographer. It ranges from from Chinese photographers I don't know to Magnum's Kubota, Salgado, Kratochvil, Eve Arnold, MacDuff Everton and even landscape artist Robert Glenn Ketchum. Yet leaves out such notables as Marc Riboud and Dennis Cox It ranges from gritty BW to larger format color. Its presentation is one reason I almost never buy books shot by more than one photographer--too disjointed. But see for yourselves. The differences of the various viewpoints is a good barometer of what speaks most to your personal sensibilities. Donal - -- __________ Donal Philby San Diego www.donalphilby.com
