As one of Europe's best-known landscape photographers and the author of more than 30 books, a new title featuring the photographs of Charlie Waite is a publishing event. In My Mind's Eye is something special - it is Charlie's first black & white art book. With more than 50 beautifully produced black & white full page and double-page plates, individually hand-printed by the author, this promises to be one of the most sought after photography titles of the decade. The book features an intimate selection of stunning landscapes from all over the world and other personal favourites from Charlie's career spanning more than 20 years, accompanied by his expert advice on the creative manipulation of monochrome images, printing and film processing.

Great photos from a master,
By
This review is from: In My Mind's Eye: Seeing in Black and White (Paperback)
Charlie Waite's black and white photographs are every bit as good as his colour work. I particularly appreciate his infrared work shown in this book. Although I am a digital photographer now and this book features only film based pictures, it is very educational just to look and absorb Charlie Waite's images. Well worth the price. Highly recommended (by me!)

Design Is Not A Subject,
By
This review is from: In My Mind's Eye: Seeing in Black and White (Hardcover)
In the nicest possible way, it is difficult to argue with successful published photographers who lead classes to exotic destinations, but let me try. Into every camera, besides film or flash card, is loaded the aesthetics of the medium. Each release of the shutter a photographer tests their knowledge of it and against what they see "In Their Minds Eye." The first part of seeing with "The Mind's Eye" is choosing a subject to photograph and then coaxing design to help organize the image. Mr. Waite's travel snapshots of the world fall below this threshold. The SUBJECT takes a back seat to DESIGN. A few of the images, like the terra cotta face with water pipe at the mouth, page 101, is not worth film, paper or ink. Many of Mr. Waite's images are bad forgeries of SUBJECTS other photographers' have done with greater care and ability. Mr. Waite's travels took him to America and his subject was the jaws of an earth mover and rock. If he could have spent a few of his travel days moving through the "Grand Circle" in the Southwestern Landscape of America, he would not of included so many cliché photographs of Tuscany. When I buy a book, what I am thinking about is to revisit it, and feel the same way about the photographer's efforts as when I purchased it. For Mr. Waite's book "In My Mind's Eye, Seeing In Black & White", this purchase was returned for the lack of the latter. Craig Carlson, Chula Vista, California, carlson1@mail.sdsu.edu.
