A revealing look at landscape,
By John Benton (Chicago, Illinois USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Landscape: Photographs of Time and Place (Hardcover)
Art,at its best, unveils an experience we did not have before. Sometimes it's an emotional response, sometimes it's intellectual. But it should show you something that you had not noticed or felt or thought of before. Good photography books should do the same. To often we look at landscape photographs as documentation or keepsakes and not as a form for expression. This book reminds us of how expressive landscape photography can be when the right person is behind the camera. It also reminds us how revealing a photography book can be when the right author is behind the word. Mr. Protzman knows a lot about looking. But most importantly he knows a lot about revealing. This is truly a book worth looking at and reading.

Disappointed,
This review is from: Landscape: Photographs of Time and Place (Hardcover)
Of all the landscape books I ordered in 2004 this was the the biggest disappointment. I got the impression the author tries to convince me about his personal definition about what landscape photography is, with examples of images I wouldn't take a second look at.
If you're interested in beauty of nature and not in an abstract thesis about the definition and value of art look for books from Art Wolfe or Jack Dykinga.
