Book Reviews of Paris

Book Review: A massive book! with not much culling...
Summary: 3 Stars

Robert Doisneau is one of my childhood favorite photographers. The kiss in front of the cafe on a busy Paris street has always captivated my imagination, even after the scandal over the fact that it was staged. A photographer is as much a catcher of images as a maker of them, so the whole issue of authenticity really didn't bother me too much. So I embraced this massive book with much expectation.. I had seen little of the rest of his work, so it was to be a learning experience. Overall I came out of the book rather disappointed.. Certainly his opus was huge, and this was just a book on his Paris photos, Yet I was a bit disappointed in the mediocrity of much of the work presented. In order to present all his work, some items seems to have been included that were perhaps better off left out. Still, it is an interesting journey into the Paris of old, and though the dated layout is a bit mediocre, I still give it 3 stars.
