I saw work by James Fee in some galleries and it really blew off the top of my head. He's doing crazy things to an image and the results are great. The subject matter here moves from iconographic images of he US, sunken ships in Southeast Asia, to impressionistic nudes. The great thing about him is none of these images have been digitally manipulated. If you are a photographer and looking for a book to shake things up a bit, James Fee will not dissapoint. What makes this book succeed is that it's not just about the process, there is a real communication happening. I keep coming back to the book for ideas and inspiration. Owning this book will only do good things for you.

This book by James Fee reveals the depth of this photographer's range to capture the essence of America in all her beauty, abandonment, and reverie. Fee was a remarkable photographer who unfortunately passed away in 2006, but kept shooting stunning images until the end, even while leaning on a walker and using portable oxygen.

Inspiring and transcendent in range and scope, this book is a must for anyone interested in the talent of an American original. I highly recommend it.

The images of New York are as haunting as it is today after the attack. Fee's photographs of the Statue of Liberty and NY are dark, emotional and surreal. It makes you think of a future that can easily become reality if we remain too naive to recognize our own stupidity.

I think we will look back, 20 years from now, and see James Fee as one of the greatest American photographers. He has a distinct style - his pictures are unmistakably his. One of a kind.

A spectacular assembledge of this photographers work. Beautifully reproduced. Highly recommend this book. Great cover choice.
