DESCRIPTION: Photographer Randall Schieber s view of Columbus, Ohio is clearly of a bustling metropolis of lights and open spaces where the visual and performing arts flourish. Each of his images of the city s skyline includes a creative point of interest against skies of blue or illuminated nights. From the gardens of Columbus Park of Roses, Inniswood Metro Gardens and the topiary interpretations of a Seurat painting, to architectural elements like the Union Station Arch, and the Veteran s Memorial, or the unique sculptures, Navstar in Franklin Park and the Field of Corn in Dublin, Schieber's photos of Columbus public parks portray the integral part of the arts in their lush and people-friendly grounds. Multi-cultural festivals captured on film reflect the ancestry that is evident throughout the city. A city of sporting events, historic architecture, museums, theatres, and concert halls, this book shares every element.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Photographic Representation of Cols., September 25, 2010

This review is from: Columbus, Ohio: A Photographic Portrait (Hardcover)

I purchased this book to use as a guest book at my recent Columbus wedding. It is exactly what I expected: a great representation of Columbus in photographs. I've lived in this city for over 5 years, and I never knew it was so nice! The pictures go beyond doing it justice. If you are looking for a lot of information or text, you will not find it. However, if you want a nice coffee table book with high quality photographs of Ohio's fine capital, then this is your book. I would buy it again if I had the chance, and I'm very happy with my purchase.
