4.0 out of 5 stars Pic'd Apart but Nice, December 3, 2008

This review is from: Real Moments: Bob Dylan (Hardcover)

There are some great shots of Dylan in this book, but too many are cut by the seam in the focal points of the picture (biggest 'buzz-kill' is the shot of Dylan looking in the mirror when buying clothes, beautiful shot, bad place to split). The pages aren't of the greatest quality compared to other photo books of this nature. I wouldn't pay list price, (this would go down to three stars if I did), but I gave four stars b/c at Amazon's price I would still recommend this as worth buying for an average fan. Mostly I wish the book was a little bigger so there would not have to be spreads, better paper, and I would have happily paid twice as much.

5.0 out of 5 stars An impressive compilation that will be of especial interest to the legions of Bob Dylan fans, October 9, 2008

By 

Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Real Moments: Bob Dylan (Hardcover)

Bob Dylan is an American music icon. Professional photographer Barry Feinstein had greater access to Dylan than any other photographer. It was Feinstein's iconic image that appeared on Dylan's "The Times They Are A-Changin'" album in 1963 and photographed Dylan at the musician's invitation during Dylan's European tour of 1966 and US tour of 1974. It is from among the photos taken on these two legendary tours that comprise "Real Moments: Photographs of Bob Dylan 1966-1974" and newly published by Omnibus Press. This is an impressive compilation that will be of especial interest to the legions of Bob Dylan fans, and a popular addition to personal, community, and academic library 20th Century Music History and American Photography reference collections.
