Summary: Eclectic and on the money
Review: Jamie Brisick has a brilliant eye and a cunning voice. His photos are candid, casual, low-tech and shot from the hip. Coupled with the words you get a postcard of depth, substance, insight and anthropological observation. The Fiji stories call to mind Paul Theroux's tales of the South Pacific--a journeyman's diaries opened up to the public. There's a story about a surfer who loses his sight and gains a newfound love of life--inspiring and life-affirming. There are short sketches of marvellous feats attained by surfers. Best of all is a first-person dance down the main avenues of Crnaval in Rio de Janeiro. The book jumps from palce to place, subject to subject, and ends up in New York where the author confesses that the book has been perverted by a pair of sex-crazed neighbors. Funny, lighthearted and worthwhile.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Lots of Photos, little text
Review: Note: this book is mostly photographs and images, with very little text. Not that there is anything wrong with it, it's just that I expected a lot more reading material. The book took me less than an hour to read cover to cover.



Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: cool book
Review: this book has a naive optimism that is more like something you find in a child, except the subjject matter is all about travel and experiencing different cultures and spending a lot of time in the ocean, and in this way its not childlike at all. more like adventurous. there are some nice theories about life, some questions raised that are worthwhile. and there are some nice observations about sex. ...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: vava ribeiro
Review: This is the kind of book that people sample. The stuff you ll find in there can't be mimic by staging process. Jamie somehow creates nostalgia in the midle of chaos. He composes ( text and images )
under extreme influence of sensorial perseption. In this book ,Brisick plays as if the universe and life it self only exist to those who have no fear of living in the moment. Great artist.

Great gift !

Summary: The Man Behind The Name
Review: To enter the world of Jamie Brisick requires a large tolerance for laughter. His unique and charming nature infects your soul like a shot of good tequila. You feel the warmth and know life is about to become a better experience.
