Title: Different . . . heart-stopping
Review: I like Koudelka's work very much. I saw this new book listed here in Amazon, but who wants to buy a photography book without looking at it? Even if you trust the photographer, what if the reproduction's no good? So I found it in a bookstore and looked. It's more abstract than his earlier work. There are few people; there are roads, rubbly sidwalks, a broken concrete statue of Lenin on a barge. The cropping and grouping of the images are intense and strange. It is awesomely beautiful. The reproduction is fine by me. If you like Koudelka and you buy this book, I think you will be very glad you did. If you don't know Koudelka, you might want to find the book and look.
