I just really like it a whole bunch. I left my copy at home today, otherwise I'd probably spend all day leafing through it again, and again. Or it'd get all torn up as I show it off to anyone who'd sit still long enough for me to corner them. There are a few photos that seem to catch my eye each time. But I suspect that if/when I go back and look at it again a few months, or years, down the line, different photos will catch my eye. I'm also very impressed by the job Mark did at pairing the photos, either artistically or thematically. One juxtaposition that I don't know if it was deliberate, is that there is a blonde in the background of "Love & Life on the T" (p49) that looks a lot like the one in "Exhaustion" on p51. Is it just my copy, or is the sensor noise on my Pigeon Point lighthouse photo (p. 74) particularly pronounced? Good Job dude. Not "Good", "Amazing".
