Michael Subotzky- Beaufort West

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...

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...
