1.0 out of 5 stars BORING! A REAL Y-A-W-N-E-R.....!, April 1, 2004

By A Customer

Mr Hare autograhed a copy of this lame attempt at a photo book. Hare claims to be a pro at photography & that his work is all over varios galleries. Maybe? All I know is that this book was so boring to study the pictures of various business men/women clerks who'd sat & posed for these alleged capsules of catching working stiffs at work in the 1960's or so. Very boring black & white photos & it left me feeling perhaps the workers weren't the true stiffs but rather the stiff was on the opposite side of the camera?

5.0 out of 5 stars INCREDIBLE BOOK!, December 14, 2004

By	A. DeRolf "Dektol" (Chicago, IL.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Please ignore all the reviews prior to this one, obviously the people above had no idea what they were talking about. Chauncey Hare is an amazing photographer who uses the objects and people in a frame to show his point of view. His idea of corporate america could not be any more clearer then in his photographs. You have the obvious seperation between men and women, the attempt of a sanctuary in such steril environments and the complete lack of sanity in corprate america. It's a stunning book with stunning photographs. Photographs that arise questions upon questions.

1.0 out of 5 stars Thank the Lord I Didn't by This Corporate Photo Album, August 25, 2004

By	Marge Mueller "Seeking the Truth" (Tok, Alaska) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Thank the Lord I didn't buy this corporate photo album. That is all this is is a bunch of suits & Kelly girls posing for the camera. If Hare would've posted their names below; this less than deserving of publication photo book could have stood in as one of a million company/corporate photo/employee directories. I didn't know getting a book of toilet tissue was so easy....now I know...

That is the only positive I can say for this group of seemingly & hastily "scrounged thru someone's granny's picture box of black & white photos" then glued onto paper, photo-copyed, and subsequently bound together to masquerade as a book of "professional photography."

Myself, I'd be ashamed to 1.] put this on the market & 1.] collect -- I cringe at the thought -- money for this puppy-paper-training effort. I've handed in and received a failing grade and was paddled for school projects better than this!

Yes, this "book" is truly one-in-over-a-million. I can see why it is listed as book # 1million+ in order of sales made.

I just can't shake/nor fathom the thought of wondering if Hare ever really collected any money for this garbage? If so, he should be publicly scourged--maybe then in reference to his other work "Work Abuse"--he'd realize what torture really feels like.

I am sure the reader knows what torture feels like if they've seen this photo book.
