DESCRIPTION:
Amazing journey up the Amazon A Customer These photographs aren't illustrations of "life along the Amazon" -- they're powerful, intricate images from a photographer with an incredible eye. Webb shows you the strange landscapes that lurk under the surface of normal life -- magical, disturbing, beautiful, elusive -- and as he takes you up the river there are new mysteries on every page. The further upriver you go, the more bleak and frightening those mysteries become. A fascinating book from a very unusual photographer.. John William Davis said Beautiful Book. I showed this book to one of my photography instructors at the college I attend and we discussed how wonderful the use of color and composition is in Alex Webb's photography. He is an extremely insightful photographer. Many of the photos are so skillfully composed that they are almost like two or three photographs in one. This book is filled with "decisive moments" - similiar to Cartier-Bresson's approach to photography - but in beautiful color.I'll never look at color photography in the same way after having seen Mr. Webb's work. I learned things from this book. And I am proud to own it.. "A sensitive photographer with a great eye" according to Gerardine Vargas. Mr. Webb's images reflect a sensitive photographer, a thinking photographer with a great eye. His graphic approach to documentary photography adds a wonderful artistic quality to the images.The images bring me to the Amazon, the real Amazon with its beauty, danger, ugliness, etc.-- not the romanticized Amazon of just beautiful sceneries.
Webb's best images capture the fluidity not only of the river but of the life along its banks. -- The New York Times Book Review, Lance Gould
