Twin Palms Publishers, 2000 without sanctuary As a white man over sixty, growing up in the Northeast, I was sheltered from the realities of racism by my surroundings. "Colored people" were simply not socially acceptable, thats all. When you go through this book you will cringe and shutter. What reason and why would white people do this. Not only lynch but torture and maim before they allowed the subject to die, and often for no reason ...             5x76 reviews Twin Palms Publishers, 2007 Being There Contemporary art photography seems to be mired in such an identity crisis at present that it is both a relief and a joy to live in William Eggleston's world of lush barroom vinyl with characters so breathtakingly present. His 5 x 7 portraits are both spontaneous and profound....as if he has brushed against strangers and in a 60th of a second got a look inside. Also, he has made one of the best ...             The Adventures of Constantine Cavafy1 review Duane Michals Twin Palms Publishers, 2007 Longing for beauty This evocative book of photographs and text conveys the longing, beauty, and wistfulness of Cavafy's poetry. As such, Michal's work not only illustrates some of Cavafy's most celebrated verse, it represents a great artist's sympathetic response to the work of another.             A Storybook Life: Limited6 reviews Philip-Lorca Dicorcia Twin Palms Publishers, 2003 I love it.

It is a comprehensive visual essay into things that we find fascinating, yet repulsive. Unlike a carnival sideshow, however, the purpose of this wonderful book is not to cynically trivialize the individuals illustrated. Like the Mütter Museum, (Mütter ...             The Bone House6 reviews Joel-Peter Witkin Twin Palms Publishers, 1998 The Magical Image Aptly named, THE BONE HOUSE is a collection of Witkin's images covering the period from 1950 to 1998. Witkin himself made the selection of his images. This is the first time I have seen some of these photographs, but many others are drawn from Witkin's better known images. The collection is remarkable. Witkin is not an easy photographer/artist to get next to. He uses death, morbidity, ...             Americans in Kodachrome 1945-19654 reviews Guy Stricherz Twin Palms Publishers, 2002 A "Must-Have" picture book for any American!

S. Merwin Twin Palms Publishers, 2000 The Architect's Brother Wow. That's how I'm going to start this off. My first inkling was to give the book four stars, you know, seem objective to the reader, maybe have a bigger influence. The truth is objectivity has nothing to do with this book. It is full of magic, suprise, wonder: nothing but true subjectivity. That is where its beauty lies, like a receiving a small bit of mail from an unknown sender, each ...             Anthony Goicolea4 reviews Anthony Goicolea, Jane Harris Twin Palms Publishers, 2003 A great book--but Amazon doesn't have it This is a great book at a great price--the only problem being that Amazon doesn't actually have any to sell. I ordered this book in June (when the site offered shipping in 24-48 hours) and in their latest email they have pushed the delivery date to mid September. A phone call to customer service revealed they actually have no idea when or if they can get this book. I've had this problem before ...             Premiere Nudes7 reviews Albert Arthur Allen, Daile Kaplan Twin Palms Publishers, 2001 A TRUE MASTERPIECE!!! This book is masterpiece!

From the many shots of male models, actors, and just everyday joes...this book rocks. The price tag is hefty but is very worth it. The price alone was worth it for those pictures of Brad Pitt and Antonio Sabato Jr.! Mr. Pierson definitely knows what's attractive to the eye and who his core audience is:) The photo's of the male models are also ...             A Time Not Here: The Mississippi Delta2 reviews Norman Mauskopf, Randall Kenan Twin Palms Publishers, 1997 Extraordinary book I own all three Mauskopf's books: A Time Not Here, Rodeo, and Dark Horses.

Other books have called them snapshots, but Ginsberg could not help but create art, as well. The paper used by the printer could have been better.
