5.0 out of 5 stars Pennsylvania's Tapestry, January 24, 2000

This review is from: Pennsylvania's Tapestry : Scenes from the Air (Hardcover)

I agree with Ron Talbott "Seitz's photographs are reminiscent of the invented landscapes of painter Richard Diebenkorn as they move us between representation and abstraction." A beautiful gift and beautiful conversation piece, a beauty to enjoy!

1.0 out of 5 stars Panoramic views of the Keystone state w/ ??? text., December 29, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Pennsylvania's Tapestry : Scenes from the Air (Hardcover)

In my 'thumbing' this book I immediately centered in the geographic area where I live and found that the text referring to the aerial photo had a gross error and questioned the information of other areas photographed since I would not be quite as familiar with the details of other areas as I would with my own. In particular, as an Altoonan, I was disappointed that the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament (towering above the city) was listed as the Blair County Courthouse. As most everyone knows (especially one who would publish a book) the courthouse of a community is in the county seat and the county seat of Blair County is Hollidaysburg not Altoona. Dah!!! Granted, it may seem like a trivial matter but how is one to continue with any certainty in reading the captions of the beautiful photographs that show the beauty of Pennsylvania. Sorry, my vote is a "thumbs down" considering that a more careful review of geographic details is a MUST in a book titled "Pennsylvania's Tapestry: Scenes from the Air.
