I also wanted to put in my review of your book. I know I wrote you a message on myspace about it but I thought I'd put some words here as well.
The cover is a lovely image of david's hands playing guitar and there is a faux leather type look to the rest of the cover. The majority of the images are black and white. Chris has this wonderful way of blowing out the grain in images which gives them a gritty and soft quality. They have an undeniable moody feeling to them. From a photographic stand point I think some images are stronger than others. I don't particularly care for the images of other people on stage since it was a David Sylvian show. I would have preferred either a full stage shot that included them and that is all or perhaps a different way of editing those images into the book. I think this would have aided in the flow of the book as well. The other thing I would have wanted was a photo of Chris as most books do publish an author photo and it always ads a sense of personal quality to an endeavor. I would have also like to have the tour titles given on the seperation pages. I might have also put the colours ones seperated... like a starter and finisher of the chapter. They would act as end caps in that way.
Overall, the book is just amazing. The intimacy the photos have because of how Chris saw each event and his use of manipulating the quality of exposure is just gorgeous. I have so many favourite photos in this collection it would be difficult to select just one. I am, as Chris knows, very partial to David's namaste pose images.
Chris thank you so much for offering all of us this opportunity to share in your marvelous work... you have treated us to some incredibly lovely images and not taken advantage of the fact that you could have charged a great deal more for all your work.
Namaste to you my friend... and thank you.
