George Tice: Selected Photographs 1953-1999

Pocket Paragon, David R Godine Publisher – Boston, 2001

Excellent photographs, allowing me to again use one of my favourite words (see if you can spot it in the upcoming sentence. . .)

These photographs show that George Tice is a master of chiaroscuro.

(did you see it? You guessed it, dear reader – it’s “chiaroscuro” !! Well done!)

Basically, this book is a great introduction – after you glance through it, go directly to the web to find all these pics and more and see for yourself – in addition to my aforementioned favourite word, he also has a fantastic view of America: in complete rugged clarity, even through the worn out buildings and happily worn workers – he has a great grasp of how we view ourselves as America.

and, if I haven’t stated already – some great pics!!
