Secret Games: Collaborative Works with Children 1969-1999

Summary: Simply amazing
Review: I was fortunate enough to see an exhibition of Wendy Ewald's work two years ago, and it completely changed the way I look at photography. Some accuse her of exploiting children (almost all of 'her' work is either collaboration with children or the work of the children she's taught), but I have to disagree. Rather, I think she's given a voice to children (most of whom are from low income neighborhoods) who otherwise wouldn't have any.
The images in this book (and, for that matter, her other books) are magical in a way that no book free from a child's influence could be. I can't recommend her work highly enough.
