5.0 out of 5 stars I miss seeing RED, August 14, 2001
This review is from: The Red Couch (Hardcover)
This has been one of my favorite gifts to give over the last decade and I feel compelled to get it back into circulation. The journey of one red velvet couch across the country invites a diverse cross section of us to sit (or lie or sprawl or jump) on it and be photographed. The photo essay is breathtaking and wonderfully weird with bold colors, outrageous characters and intriguing depictions of Americana. If I won the lottery, I'd buy everyone a copy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ingenious photographic essay of the United States - inspirational, July 25, 2007
This review is from: The Red Couch (Hardcover)
I teach photography and use this book every semester as one of the great attempts to photographically reveal the pulse of a diverse and complicated nation. I have found this book to inspire both my own photography and I imitate its genious in photographic assignments given to my students. Invariably, they love the book and its provocative messages. Everytime I re-open the Red Couch, I find new insights. Anyone interested in ingenious photographic essays, anyone interested in peering deeply into the diversity that makes up the United States as a nation of many peoples, anyone interested in learning or teaching photography will find this book fascinating, entertaining, provocative, revealing, memorable. It is one of my favorite books about North America. I have been reading Amazon reviews for years but have never been so inspired to create my own. The Red Couch is that inspiration. (Finally, as another already stated, it is one of the all-time perfect gifts for creative, intellectual, artistic, open-minded people.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Red Couch travels, December 4, 2010

This review is from: The Red Couch: A Portrait of America (Hardcover)
"The Red Couch" is both beautiful and entertaining. The authors (photographers) move a large red sofa to many locations, some of them quite improbable and photograph it, of course most often with one or more people therein. The result is an unconventional photo portrait of America.
