Rating:  Summary: Beautiful landscapes Review: I discovered Neil Folberg through a photograhy magazine, and I fell in love with his images and process of making them. The book is beautifully made and classy with a matte dust cover, but it got a 4 rating because it was just a little less than I had expected. The two images that I had seen over and over again are included, but they are the only ones so dynamic in the book. Others seem a little plain, but art is subjective so what I don't like about this book may not be what others dislike. Either way, I see Folberg gaining more recognition as time goes on and he will continue to improve on his style.
Rating:  Summary: A must for any serious lover of photography Review: If you live in a City, or near one, then this book is a must for you. If you are a romantic, or a history buff or a serious lover of photography then this book is a must for you too. These images are instant legends. Each one is like an ancient tale of the desert or of an ancient city in the mysteries of the night under the endless veil of stars above. You can almost feel the gentle, soft warm winds off of the desert as you turn these pages. The images are profound in the tradition of Ansel Adams, Minor White and Edward Weston. They are all long exposures at night, masterfully accomplished. All of them are strong, subtle and enchanting. The array of stars in the firmaments of these photographs definitely border on the religious and the metaphysical. They are breathtaking to see and experience. This is a wonderful book for cynics who need to be reborn as caring souls. It is a great gift for friends and a must in any serious photography library.
Rating:  Summary: Stunning, Ethereal, Other-Worldly... Review: These photographs transport the reader to another world, a twilight zone where the universe meets the earth and mind....these are black and white photographs, powerful, transporting, wonderful....Neil Folberg has captured the mysterious power of a sacred place and made marvelous photographs. Startingly original, deep and authentic. This is great art.
