Summary: Worth the Hunt
Review: Disappointingly, this book is out of print. I was, however, able to find it on other web site (DJ included) so there are still a few about - including on Amazon sometimes. I first saw this book at a friend's house and had been searching for a copy for my own house ever since. As all the 'Day In the Life' series, 75 or so photographers are let loose on a country (in this case, Ireland) for an entire day (May 17, 1991 for this book). Their resulting 800+ photographs depict the country and people, perhaps in ways you never thought of. Having been to Ireland myself a few times I found this book wonderfully refreshing without the contrived look often equated in the American mind of Ireland. You will find all sorts of photos from individuals at work and play, families, landscapes (how could you leave that out?), villages, sports, etc. Almost everything you could think of and a few that you would not. It would behoove the publishers of this series to return to Ireland to compare the changes wrought in the last decade for the Irish people. I'm sure even they themselves would be amazed!

Summary: Great Photography
Review: This is a collection of some photography, over the course of a single day, (May 17, 1991) by some of the greatest photographers of the 80's and 90's. It's truly an honest look into the life of the Irish, which I found very interesting. Most of the pictures are beautiful, and convey real human emotion. A great read, if it were only still in print!
