I couldn't wait to order Sally Mann's book after seeing her interview on the Charley Rose Show. What's more I was very impressed with many of the photos that were in that exhibition. Upon paging through my new book I was disappointed to see none of these pictures! All I saw was her experimentation with glass negatives - none of which impressed me or enlightened me. Too bad - this volume was not inexpensive. I wasted a perfectly good gift card based on her reputation. I won't make that mistake again. I thought her writing (if it really was hers) far exceeded her photography!

Great photos throughout! A very nice book to add to your photography collection. The book has great photos and good essays written by Mann to add to the photos. Mann has taken equipment that was used by the likes of Matthew Brady and toured the south taking photos at various places of interest. A must for your collection!
Great book, good quality. I recommend.

I am a big fan of Sally Mann and this is one book that I can not stop talking about to friends. It is very dreamy in a dark and almost nightmarish kinda of a way yet still very beautiful. If you have not seen her documentary video What Remains dvd.....You must. It is amazing to watch her process.
