Summary: An insult to Dr. Porter
Comment: Eliot Porter's photography and writings are full of passion for his subject and give inspiration to the reader and photographer. It is not, therefor, Dr. Porter that disappoints, but the way his work has been modified to make it "fit" this books' format. I can only assume that the publisher's motivation for ruining Porter's photos (some are unrecognizable) and making his words nearly unreadable (very poor text reduction down to nearly a 4 font) was to produce an "affordable" book for the masses. Having just seen a showing of Porter's work at the Portland (Maine) Museum of Art, I was looking forward to spending some time with his photos at home and also reading his words. If I had seen this book in a book store, I certainly would not have purchased it; I guess that's what happens when I purchase a book mail order.
