Book Reviews of Botanica
Book Review: I wish I had kinder words
Summary: 1 Stars
With much anticipation I purchased this book prior to it's release. Having already owned most of the other books published by Mr. Schatz and even the odd print I felt that it was not much of a leap of faith. To say that the book is dissappointing is to say that "The Care Bear Movie II: The New Generation" was not a great movie. The book is simply horrible. Like the idea of remaking the Care Bear Movie II but in an unknown language with subtitles I wonder why it was done at all. I wish I had kinder words but the book leaves me with a real sense of bewilderment - Why? Why sooo bad? The dreadful composition. The alien color. The amount of work that is out of focus (which is not a skillful use of a technique but just a disaster)does not work for this subject matter. The idea was solid but the execution screams out that it was put together in one evening after a few beers.
Summary of Botanica
From the exotic - angel's trumpets, passion flowers and pincushions - to the familiar - lillies, roses and begonias - the flowers Schatz photographs have never looked quite like this before, and yet it is their natural beauty that shines through every page of this sumptuous volume. Annotations at the back of the book, accompanied by miniature reproductions of the full-page plates, identify each variety and provide both common and Latin names. Schatz's unique presentation and photographic style make this a compelling gift for both flower lovers and connoisseurs of fine photography.Artists, A-Z Books
