Sublime and Intriguing,
By Nick Radujko (Wainwright, Alberta Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Camera Obscura (Hardcover)
Photography is a fascinating art form. What is more fascinating is when a photographer transcends the photo to create artistic imagery that invites on in to spend time viewing the image. Abelardo Morell does just this. The quality of the writing and the paper just add to the overall experience. A book worthy of a special spot on the shelf or, even better, on the coffee table so many can share in the beauty.

Wow again!,
By Photo Fan - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Camera Obscura (Hardcover)
Picked up Morell's newest at the Brookline Booksmith book signing the other night, where the artist gave an inspiring talk. Going back for more copies tonight. This is the single best homage to photography ever! Where does a person get such fantastic ideas and how does he realize them with such beauty and wonder? Last year, one could hardly imagine how Morell might follow up his equally elegant Book of Books. Well, now we know.
