[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have not yet seen this book in published form, but I have had the privilege of seeing the PDF: It is an absolute stunner; one of the best photo books I have ever seen. While it does document the work of the men who dug the Big Dig, calling what Michael has produced a "documentary photography" project doesn't begin to do it justice. The photographs that make up digging are truly works of art. In fact, the interplay of shapes, forms, shadows and light; the mastery of composition; the ironic juxtaposition of objects, reminds me of nothing so much as the work of HCB. This is an absolute "must have" for every LUGer's bookshelf. In fact, it is a 'must have' for anyone who cares seriously about serious photography. B.

While both Amazon and Barnes & Noble online show the book as ?not released?, the book is now moving into warehouse and will be available very soon. Books are also available from the publisher directly through their website: www.commonwealtheditions.com <http://www.commonwealtheditions.com/> or by phoning them at 978-921-0747. Finally, amazon.fr, amazon.de, and amazon.co.jp all list the book for those interested overseas. Autographed copies are available directly from me. With the exception of several Xpan and Mamiya 7 images all the images were made with Leica cameras. Thank you all for this opportunity to present this work.
