Review: Seldom has anything moved me as much Mr.Reno's pictorial depiction of people and situations that occur throughout this sometimes rapid and other times slow and stoic planet of ours. My wife and I have spent quality time together looking at and wishing we were experiencing the spontaneous myriad of eclectic events that Mr. Reno has so professionaly captured. We both say BRAVO and bring on Ground Time 2!

Summary: a visual feast
Review: This book is one of the most rich and thought provoking collection of views of the human condition I've ever seen. It prompts my imagination with its range of scenes and moments in the lives of people around the world, and inspires great curiosity about what "must have been going on" at those moments captured on film. At the same time, many of the images remind me of the universals in people's lives, and the culture-bridging quality of some emotions and experiences. Mr. Reno has a perfect sense for what Cartier Bresson called the "decisive moment." Visually, the book is a real tour de force --- the quality of the images is astonishing in their richness and depth, and just plain elegance. Mr. Reno has clearly mastered the darkroom craft, and then some. The book is a treat for the eyes and for the spirit, and is the kind of thing I will return to again and again for pleasure and inspiration.
