5.0 out of 5 stars beautiful photography, refreshing imagery, June 15, 2010

I do not own this book, but had to review Audrey Heller's work after seeing her booth at the Old Town Art Fair in Chicago this weekend. Her photos are amazing! I would say that the two additional images shown on this Amazon site (the flowers) don't do the book justice. Her colors are rich, her themes vary, and the figurines are placed everywhere: on typewriters, old books, hanging out of boats, etc.

I will definitely buy the book for friends as gifts, particularly those who appreciate photography.

I first saw Audrey Heller's work at the Sausalito Art Festival about 3 years ago and found it entertaining, thoughtful, imaginative and wonderful. I bought one of her works for my office, during an open studio and have sent out her holiday cards. Having limited space on my walls and budget, I am delighted to have more of her creations in a book I can enjoy on a regular basis. I bought one for myself and plan to give one as a gift. Her photos make me smile, think and laugh. Her little people are engaged in the most interesting activities from sunning on a bunch of grapes to diving into a glass of champagne. How can you not love that??
