Amazon: From the Floodplains to the Clouds Hardcover – December 8, 1997

see titleSERIOUSLY, FOR ALL THAT TIME AND ALL THAT FILM I THINK IT ISN'T THIS PHOTOGRAPHER'S BEST, ALTHOUGH IT'S PRETTY DAMN GOOD

I would save your money here and buy "Wild Amazon: A Photogapher's Incredible Journey." This one here has obscure pictures of the people--none of the Amazon itself or the animals. I was very disappointed.

This book has some beautiful images of the great river that capture its vastness, heat, humidity and atmosphere. A good addition to the Brazilian bookshelf, along with books like "The Brazilians" and "The Brazilian Sound."

this work is about light, color, composition, and one of the most interesting and mysterious places left on the planet. webb has winded his way through his now familiar terrain in central and south america, and produced one of the finest books of our time.

I showed this book to one of my photography instructors at the college I attend and we discussed how wonderful the use of color and composition is in Alex Webb's photography. He is an extremely insightful photographer. Many of the photos are so skillfully composed that they are almost like two or three photographs in one. This book is filled with "decisive moments" - similiar to Cartier-Bresson's approach to photography - but in beautiful color.I'll never look at color photography in the same way after having seen Mr. Webb's work. I learned things from this book. And I am proud to own it.

Mr. Webb's images reflect a sensitive photographer, a thinking photographer with a great eye. His graphic approach to documentary photography adds a wonderful artistic quality to the images.The images bring me to the Amazon, the real Amazon with its beauty, danger, ugliness, etc.-- not the romanticized Amazon of just beautiful sceneries.

Mr. Webb's powerful images take you to that place. I felt theheat and humidity, the lushness, the danger, the wonder and beauty,and the vastness of the Amazon--the same feelings and impressionsMarlow must have felt as he journeyed up the Congo river to find Mr. Kurtz.
