Review

" "Harold Feinstein is one of the very few photographers I have known, or have been influenced by, with the ability to reveal the familiar to me in a beautifully new, strong, and honest way." -- -W. Eugene Smith

"Harold Feinstein's gorgeous images are almost pornographic in their luscious detail. Can blossoms such as these really exist outside of dreams?" -- House & Garden, 3/00

5.0 out of 5 stars Praise for the One Hundred, March 9, 2000
By Andrea D.Vest (Orange County, North Carolina) - See all my reviews
ONE HUNDRED FLOWERS is a joy to behold! Harold Feinstein's magnificent photography of the flowers that grace our gardens are enclosed within the pages of this spectacular new book in a way not seen before. He teams with Gregory Piotrowski, who skillfully provides the lilting prose for this endeavor giving the reader information about each of the hundred and leaving him wanting to know more. After examining these glorious photographs, I don't think I will ever look at a flower in quite the same way again. Mr. Feinstein's photography pulls the reader into a place of brilliant color, design, and fluidity. This "bee's view" as it is called, allows the reader to see into the very soul of each flower pictured. One takes away a new appreciation of the miracles of creation. You will give yourself a gift by owning this book. I plan to purchase it for friends and family as I strongly feel that no one should be deprived the beauty, the sensuousness, the vitality found springing to life on the pages of ONE HUNDRED FLOWERS. I can only hope for one hundred more!

5.0 out of 5 stars Breathtaking Beauties, February 21, 2000
By Ruth Thompson (Annapolis, MD) - See all my reviews
This gorgeous book is worth its weight in gold. It sits open on my coffee table where every day I select a different spread of luscious photos upon which to feast my eyes and spirit. Feinstein's images are invitations to meditate on life's mysterious gifts and the manifold perfections all around us. What inspiring teachers these flowers are! The words are wonderful, too. Sydney Ellison taught me much about the secret life of flowers ... I'll never look at them in quite the same way again. A.D. Coleman's essay provides artistic context and testament to the breadth and depth of this photographer's vision and body of work. Greg Piotroski's descriptions of the individual flowers in the book range from practical to rhapsodic. I loved the literary references sprinkled throughout this book. My summation in four words is "Wow! and Thank You." This book is pure beauty. I know what gift I'll be giving my special friends this year!

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure Beauty !, February 22, 2000
By Seth Kahan (Washington, D.C.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This man's artwork is astounding! As rendered by Mr. Feinstein's photography these flowers will transport you to an inner world where the awesome detail of nature's beauty comes alive as never before observed by the human eye. I use his pictures as a form of personal meditation to elevate my mood and transform my consciousness.

I was so pleased to receive my copy of this wonderful book and share it with my friends - it makes for endless conversations on the nature of beauty. I don't have enough money to buy copies of all the prints Mr. Feinstein has to offer, so I bought the book instead! Now I have 100 of his most magnificent pieces of art in my home!

I have been following Mr. Feinstein's artistic pursuits and tremendously enjoy his remarkable photography as documented by Life Magazine and TV's Nightline (did you know his work was placed in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York when he was just 19?). He certainly is one of the world's greatest living photographers. I had to own this book!
