2 comments about New York: The Ultimate Photographic Journey.

1. Mark's ability to capture the energy and essence of a scene or a life is incredible. His pictures are definately worth more than a thousand words.

   Sites of NYC captured in this book are great, even for someone who lives in the city. Sometimes I marvel at how did he get that shot or even "Where is it?". A book this beautiful must have been created by natural talent - skill could never be perfected to this level.

   I can't wait for the third book!




2. Browsing through a bookstore or online, it sometimes seems that there are as many books of photography of New York City as there are yellow cabs or unemployed dot-com workers. So the first question is why do we need another, followed by, and why this one in particular? The answer is simple. Mark Crosby has an extraordinary eye for this city, and much like Walker Evans, captures the essence of what makes it wholly unique. In Crosby's beautiful and oftentimes surprising images, he reminds you that no matter how well you think you know New York, look again, the city just may surprise you.

1 comments about Our New York (Our ...).

1. Any who seek a celebration of New York State will find OUR NEW YORK a fitting tribute, pairing vivid full-page color photos with descriptions of attractions form Long Island to Niagara Falls. Both urban and rural landscapes are captured by photographer Carol Heilman II, who covers old architectural structures, modern cityscapes, and countryside alike. A gorgeous photographic coffee table presentation which celebrates the state's diversity and wonders.

1. This beautiful and informative book (one of a series) is valuable for the armchair traveler as well as the actual tourist. History, photographs, simple and elegant maps, as well as interesting tidbits about people and places. For traveling with kids, it's invaluable. No threat of museumitis, here; lots of outdoors destinations to explore. The authors never preach, yet show convincingly that much is available - for family travel as well as adults - beyond multiplexes and outlet malls. They offer interesting and often "hidden" diversions and historically important places to visit: monuments, parks, houses, and more. It's produced lushly, to be enjoyed and admired - and it succeeds.
