Book Reviews of Immediate FamilyBook Review: Photo's which remind us of our search for identity. Summary: 5 Stars
Sally Mann is a master at capturing emotion. Her family photographs bring the observer back to the days of self discovery and the search for ones own identity. They remind us that the search is ever lasting and provoke pride in that notion. Her children appear independent and mature, however, there are subtle messages in the photographs which remind us of the often false face we present to the camera--to the world. I recommend this book to anyone in search of themselves and/or nostalgic of childhood.
Book Review: Acceptance Summary: 5 Stars
Sally Mann was introduced to me in my college photography class through a video and I was facinated from the start. She is incredibly creative and her ideas were shot down by many because of nudity. It is not nudity, it is a beautiful art that she has been able to transform to film. She is wonderous and very talented. The book helps to show the childrens lives. How they lived within themselves and Sally was simply there constantly repeating, hold that pose. A lot of heart was put into this, creating amazing work.
Book Review: Sensitivity and photography skill at its best Summary: 5 Stars
The pictures can stir you up. Growing up is not always beautiful. Unbelievable how this mother can capture those moments.Is it the family, is it the surrounding, or just the moments? Just once do I want to take a picture like that and I will start with my own children. Did somebody notice that the children are sometimes nude? What else would they be?
Book Review: pretty Summary: 5 Stars
it's just gorgeous to look through. you get to see through the mother's eyes, to see what every mother sees: her children being children; being hurt and sad and happy and playful.
