I recently held Michael Subotzky's Beaufort West in my hands for a period of 5 minutes while rushing about in the preChristmas Madness, and there just aren't enough superlatives I could possibly hurl at this work. Really. Subotzky has captured all the dodgy drama and intensity of a modern day Deadwood and transformed it into imagery reminiscent of the Renaissance masters. This is a must have book with drop dead reproductions (unlike any you'll see online- or in most print publications of any kind). 'nuff said...Friday, December 19, 2008

Thanks for that link. I'm nearly as impressed with the Goodman Gallery on line presentation as with the photographer's work.
Mike- If you saw the incredible reproductions in the book, you'd be wondering (like me) why they posted such absolute piss poor jpg's?!? I can only assume it's done to prevent
piracy- but it does an incredible disservice...
