Andrew Bush is one of the premier photographic artists living today. This wonderful collection of his candid photos of drivers in their automobiles in and around Los Angeles is one of the most startlingly original artistic concepts ever seen. These photos capture ordinary citizens in their most unguarded moments. They are realer than real when engaged in that quintessential American activity: driving their cars. Each photograph, taken from a camera mounted on the side of Bush's own car, is the same in format, but infinitely varied in its effects. One stares and stares at each image wondering what is going on in the minds of the drivers. It is anthropological as well as artistic. We learn that these photographs exist in greater than life-sized formats. Certainly one should try to see them exhibited if possible, but every lover of photography needs to add this reasonably priced book to their collection. The images are timeless, and more fascinating every time one looks at them. The wonderful interview with Bush at the end gives an unusual glimpse into the mind of an exceptionally fertile creative artist.

love this book. feels good in the hand and looking at it is a nice way to spend an afternoon.
