Manhattan: coast to coast,
This review is from: Manhattan Shores : An Expedition Around Manhattan Island (Hardcover)
Who better to cover the Manhattan's edge than Laura Rosen? As an architectural photographer she knows what to look for and delivers too. No soft focus, angled shots or wastage, just beautiful compositions that work in this tour round Manhattan.
I can't do better than the description of the photos in the Editorial Reviews above but I can add that the design of the book is excellent. The six chapters all start with a text page full of historical and contemporary detail followed by a photo centered on each page with its own caption (how refreshing not have to keep turning to a back page for a caption as plenty of art photo books insist) and printed in 200dpi on quality paper. A nice touch is a simple foldout map at the front of the book naming many of the places shown in the photos. If you live in New York this lovely book is a great reminder of what the local coastline looks like. ***FOR AN INSIDE LOOK click 'customer images' under the cover. |
