Summary: most beautiful photo book ever seen
Comment: I was browsing through the bookstore one day when I spotted this book. I have never seen prints (OK, reproductions of prints) so beautiful in all my life, and as a photo student I'm addicted to looking at every kind of photograph imaginable. Carter uses the Hasselblad arc-flex, a sort of bellows for the medium format camera, to get dream-like images where part of the image is in sharp focus and other parts drift off into softness. He has an extraordinary sense of light, capturing so many subtle nuances, and he tones his prints beautiful shades of brown and purple. Carter seems to tell stories with his photos - it's like you "read" his pictures, instead of simply looking at them. His passion for life and for what he calls visual "opera" are evident in every shot. Looking at his book, one is transported to a whole other universe, and dwells there happily.

Summary: nice images
Comment: keith carter's new book of photographs is a beautifully put together book. the publishers did an excellent job, they made a book that just looks beautiful, though i do see where keeping it in good condition might get to be a problem. the images are beautiful images, but after a while you do get a little tired of seeing the same thing over and over again. it's not as good as 25 Years, but i'd still recommend this book as an excellent purchase.
