Book Review: A Big Disappointment -- Could Have Been Much Better
Summary: 2 Stars
Many famous, not-so-famous, and not-at-all-famous (the photographer's kids!)people were asked what part of them was most precious, that part subsequently being photographed for inclusion in this book. Half the pages have no photos, but are blank with only one word on them: eyes, feet, hands, etc. Far too many of the photos are blurry abstracts and could be photos of anyone. One example: Actress Miranda Otto chose her shoulders. The photo doesn't even show her shoulders, but rather a few strands of hair and the faintest suggestion of unrecognizable facial features . It tells me nothing. I purchased this book because I read that it contained a photo of Elijah Wood's eyes. Well, it does, but I have seen at least 100 more beautiful photos of this actor's spectacular eyes. I did not buy it to see a photo of the photographer's daughter's toenails. The concept of this book is terrific, but the photos are not. A pity -- it could have been so much better.
