Co-founder of the digital culture magazine Wired, Kevin Kelly leads a double life: cyber-culture editor and independent photographer. For the past thirty years, and completely independently of his work on Wired, he has been traveling the far reaches of Asia photographing the ins and outs of daily life. Kelly has the unique perspective of someone who lives in the digital fast lane and yet craves to experience and understand cultures far different from his own. In approximately 600 stunning, richly-colored images, with no text whatsoever, Kelly shares his vision of Asia from East to West, from Afghanistan to Japan. The scope of this book is so vast, flipping through the pages is like a journey, more akin to an epic film than a book. In Kelly's words: "My book is a wordless experience in remote Asia. The idea is that you open the book and fall into it. You become immersed in Asia."

Beautiful and inspiring photography, lacks detailed information.

August 1, 2015

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Beautiful and inspiring photography, a lot of places now are gone not physically but lost on time.

Unfortunately the text is available only online, and even there the descriptions are very compact, and not very precise on the location of the picture. That beats the idea of a geography or travel photo book to some point.

Beautiful book but frustrating

August 1, 2007

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

This is an absolutely gorgeous book but I found it quite frustrating. I have it on my coffee table and love to look through it but am confused by why the publisher did not include a single description of where the pictures are taken. I travel a lot and many of the images appear to be of places that are 'trip-worthy'...however, there is no way to know where they are.

If you just love beautiful photos of exotic places and people, get this book. If you want to get a book to decide where to travel in Asia, look elsewhere.

Great Coffee Table Book And Even Better "Making Of" Story

July 23, 2008

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

The photos in this book are beautiful (print quality wise, one must take into account that many were taken 30 years ago). The story of how they came about and what Kevin Kelly experienced while creating it are even more important/impressive. It's worth searching the Internet for "Asia Grace" and reading through the website.

Such great photography. I bought this as a gift for a friend who's an artist, and she really loves it. My wife says we should use this one as a coffee table book.

A New Genre

November 16, 2002

Format: Hardcover

In recent years, photography books, whether travel or cultural, have become so designed, edited and digitally retouched that the images actually place you further from reality. You don't trust what is shown; you sense that you will never see what's on the page. Kevin Kelly has produced a very different book. The photographs could appear in any magazine in the world from National Geographic to Der Spiegel, but the book wasn't put together by an art director. There is no story, no copywriter. There are no white spaces. Every image bleeds to the margins. It is dense and rich like its subjects. The photographs pull you into a part of the world that is misunderstood, maligned and distorted every day in our press. The person behind the lens loved the places and people he encountered. From Afghanistan to Japan we journey.
Rarely do text and images work together. Asia Grace releases the images to the imagination. There are no words, no captions, no explanations. It works. It is all photographs, cover to cover. Some of the images are stunning, some are idyllic, some are inexplicable. Without sentiment, Asia Grace places you into a world that we don't understand, don't want to leave, and will never see the same again.

The Enchantment of Everyday Asia

August 26, 2009

Format: Hardcover

My mother taught me to love Asia, although neither one of us has been there. This book makes me feel as though I've walked the streets, met the people, dipped into the rich colors and been immersed in lands and cultures so foreign to my own that they might as well be on another planet. So I'm going to have to buy another copy of this out-of-print adventure for my mother, so she can experience it too.
