5.0 out of 5 stars A Love Song
Mr. Gottlieb is one of the finest photographers our country has to offer! His portrait of Washington is a love song to our nation's capitol. The photographs are spectacular, accompanied by a personal, touching and sometimes humorous text. If one thinks they know Washington, this book is a must see through this photographer's eyes. If one has never visited our nation's...

3.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful photographs, but....
This book contains some wonderfully "art-y" photographs, but it's more about the photographer than about the District of Columbia. If you are already familiar with the capital, you will probably enjoy the photographs, but it's not the book for you if you want a sort of tourist-oriented collection of prominent landmarks and vistas. Instead, the photos tend to be close-ups...

This book contains some wonderfully "art-y" photographs, but it's more about the photographer than about the District of Columbia. If you are already familiar with the capital, you will probably enjoy the photographs, but it's not the book for you if you want a sort of tourist-oriented collection of prominent landmarks and vistas. Instead, the photos tend to be close-ups of a tiny corner of a building or monument; unless you read the photographer's notes, you will often not be able to identify what you are looking at. That being said, some of the photos are rather beautiful - this is a book for people interested in photography, not in tourism or reference. For the latter folks, I recommend Robert Cameron's "Above Washington" although it needs to be updated.
