Summary: original portraits of the old guard by the young.
Review: there are a number of portraits in this elegant tome which made me stop and say, "this is really a perfect photographic portrait!" (e.g., the marc riboud portrait, and more). i am honored to be included within this roster of archtypes. i am impressed with tina ruisinger's avant-gard, dadaistic style of capture and layout and some of the text and interviews in this book can throw daggers and some can bring wisps of tears. edition stemmle should feel proud and happy to have published this artful document of the living and dead and the insight into their characters by this courageous young (facing the lightning and thunder of the old gods) photographer. a wonderful gift for those who "know" about creativity and for those who'd like to learn.
