Wonderfully clear and utterly without bokeh.

"He is one of those men who like to look at construction sites, the gaping holes in the earth which will form the foundations of the skyscraper or a multi-storey car park."

I'm intrigued. What's the book?

He is content to observe life, always slightly bored and often waiting, even if only for a bus. Failing that he will watch other people waiting for a bus.

How do you like the book? I was thinking of picking it up at a bookstore recently. I bought On Photography by Susan Sontag instead.

it is truly phenomenal.

no chapters, themes flowing in and out of each other. an amazing rate of Ideas Per Minute.

it certainly isn't an easy book, in terms of structure and accessibility, but if you have an intense interest in photography and are willing to invest yourself in the flow ..

yeah, it is pretty good.

Perhaps I asked my question before the tags went up, but clearly I should have looked. All was revealed.

Thanks, I'll pick it up next time I visit a decent bookstore (sadly I have to go out of town for that), and I look forward to your review.

Ah, a fine idea. regrettably the library system here is even worse than the choice of bookstores.
