This review is from: Lee Friedlander (Paperback)

I picked up this book not knowing what to expect. What I found was a collection of surprisingly moving and amusing self-portraits. General themes: Lee pretending to be asleep, taking his own picture; Lee, standing behind tree branches or bushes. This is my new favorite coffee table book. A few quotes, from Jazz musicians, artists and poets, make up the only text in this book.
