There was a forward and intro? ;-) Jeffery Smith New Orleans, LA http://www.400tx.com -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+jsmith342=cox.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+jsmith342=cox.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of R. Clayton McKee Sent: Wednesday, March 29, 2006 10:13 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] James Nachtwey's "Inferno" If you take the time to read the intro and forewords (yeah, right) he mentions that the size is a deliberate decision... to make the book so large it had an actual physical presence and would be hard to ignore or NOT notice. Like looking at ANY of Salgado's work, or for that matter Magnum _Stories_, I can only look at it for a few minutes at a stretch before I'm just brain dead and have to put it down and decompress for a bit. At the moment my copy lives at my mother's place in Fort Worth, safe out of the reach of passing hurricanes. It'll come home on the next ferry run. On 29 Mar 2006 at 21:45, B. D.
