personal celebration of photography as an art form." Publishers

a compelling, wonderful, deeply pleasing collection of an essential
photographer's work. [it] is a necessary book. Necessary because of
its size and scope. Necessary because of the way it holds the
aesthetic of the artist in the air." LensCulture
