Summary: Fotografiks
Comment: Thank you, DC, for an inspiring book. You are forcing me to carry my camera wherever I go...(for a shot at Fotografiks 2!) I would definitely recommend this book for anyone who believes in the power of photography as art: It's not family portraits and birthday parties; it's the world thru a different lens... The photos display shape, color and symmetry that are often overlooked in everyday life. With Carson's unique layouts and great captions and text from Philip Meggs, the book comes alive. See for yourself. I was lucky enough to receive a signed copy! Thanks again, David.

Summary: Pleasing if knowledgable in photography
Comment: David Carson is undoubtedly one of the best graphic designers and a revolutionary typographist ... but unless you understand the angles and complexity of photography, I don't think you'd really want to get this book. Sure, Carson does have a wonderful eye for color, balance, and emotional insight, BUT if you're looking for a photography book with more text and a better composition, you might want to extend your search.

Summary: eye of the beholder
Comment: David Carson first made a name for himself debunking high-brow design aesthetics with a decidedly impulsive and intuitive approach to the printed page. Here he similarly debunks high-brow photography, with this collection of obscured, abstracted and often out-of-focus photographs. These lo-fi photographs are then elevated to another level by Philip Meggs's typically lofty writing... be sure to check out Carson's grungy photograph of an empty chair, which Meggs decides is a study about "the absence of people." (That put a smile on my face, at least.) Aside from the almost farcical nature of the writing that accompanies these images, they are still effective on a purely emotional, visceral level, that same base that Carson has operated so well at as a designer for so many years. Who knows, you might even want to use it as a coffee table book... although you might confuse your company.
