When I saw a few images from this astonishing collection published in View Camera magazine, I was bowled over by them and ran out to buy a copy of the book and boy, am I glad I did.

Citret's photographs are inspirational, not only because of the sheer quality of the images and the skill with which they have been printed, but because so many of them are of such ordinary things which become beautiful in the eye of the photographer. Check out the photograph of a hotel shower room, or the strange bare concrete interior that's used as a cover image. What they say, to me at least, is that I should keep my eyes open to the ordinary, because almost anything can make a good photograph but you have to see it first.

Each photograph in this volume is a gift. From intricate architectural patterns to visions he persuades from the mists, Mark Citret is an artist in every sense of the word.

ANY BEGINING AND ADVANCED PHOTOGRAPHER WILL LEARN THE ART OF SEEING! JUST STUDY EACH PHOTOGRAPH AND THE PROCESS OF SEEING PHOTOGRAPHICLY WILL BEGIN! THIS BOOK IS A CLASSIC. THANK YOU MARK FOR GIVING US THIS AWAKENING.

ALONG THE WAY is a beautifully produced book of black and white photographs Mark Citret has produced over the last 25 years. His photographs of commonplace things are alive with a sense of discovery and his landscapes are beautiful. Citret's photographs are lessons in how much there is to see along the way and a tribute to what a gifted eye and hand can find for our amazement. This beautifully realized selection of pictures is one to place among a handful of superb photography books.

ALONG THE WAY is a brilliant collection of photographs by photographer, Mark Citret of Daly City, CA. This book includes black and white landscape and archictectural images that cover more than 25 years of photographing by the artist. Each photograph evokes an appreciation of Mr. Citret's talent. ALONG THE WAY also offers us gifts of everyday images we may have passed by without noticing that have been skillfully and beautifully captured by this remarkable artist.

This book is amazing. I have spent countless hours perusing photography books-trying to capture what makes a photograph something extraordinary - and Mark definitely has found it. It's everything from the soft tones of his images - to his unique simple view of the world. I really enjoy this collection of images - I will treasure them for years to come!
