breathtaking imagery

You will be astounded by Norman Mauskopf's beautiful images of the mississippi delta in his book "A Time Not Here." The images follow the local people of the region through the most important aspects of their lives; mostly surrounding religion and their extreme faith. Mauskopf followed the mississippi delta natives through church services, musical performances, weddings and funerals. These spectacular images are also accompanied by beautiful landscapes of the delta and a few intimate portraits of some residents there. The photographs are accompanied by a fabulous essay written by Randall Kenan. Through the outstanding images and essay, you will feel a conection with the people that Mauskoph photographs... he is able to capture their spirit as well as the spirit of the land and their home. He enables you to empathize with them in their happiness and in their pain. As a photographer myself, i was immediately influenced by the gorgeous work that i found in this book.

Extraordinary book

I own all three Mauskopf's books: A Time Not Here, Rodeo, and Dark Horses. If you like black&white documentary photography you should consider to buy them as well. The quality of photos in these books is comparable to those of Robert Frank, or Cartier-Bresson...
