 Black and white photography at its very best March 14, 2008
With " Recollections," Mr. Sexton once again displays his rare and unique blend of artistry, talent, technical expertise and his very large capacity of old fashioned perserverance. All rolled up between the covers of one very beautiful book.

One cannot help but marvel at Sexton's technique but I'm afraid most of the images in this beautifully printed book leave me cold. This isn't to say there aren't some exquisite images herein (the cover and plate 40 for example). This is my third Sexton book so I consider I've paid my dues.

Sure, John ist one of the famoust living photographer on this planet. Sure, the quality of the printings in this book is stunning, fantastic and impressing. Very rich tonality and finest structures and details. Sure, some of his photos with an deep impact, for example "Fallen Trees", "Rock forms and roaring River" or "Reseding Doorways". On the other hand there are some so lala photos for example "Snow covered Slopes" or " Geologic Conundrum". But I'am sorry I have to say some pictures are dissapointed me like "Painted Window" or "Cathedral Alcove",
And some pictures we have seen for many times before: the golden gate bridge, antelope canyon, paria canyon, o.k. in b/w it's an other point of view.
The picture shows the wide range of John's images and gives us a great cross-section from his work.
Sure, people who are interested in b/w photography need to buy this book, the same is for John Sexton fans.
But in my opinion not one of the best b/w books there are light and shadow. I recommended Michael Kenna, Josef Hoflehner or Mapplethorpe
 Disappointed May 15, 2007

With all the recommendations by photographers whom I respect, I expected something wonderful. But there are no great images in it, only the dust cover and another of Corn Flower leaves (oh Jesus, not more cornflowers!) are better than ordinary camera club show and tell. Perhaps the quality of his prints makes up for the blandness and sameness of the imagery shown here. If this is the best he has done after 30 years, then it's time to get another dayjob.
This will be the first time that I've ever taken advantage of Amazon's liberal return policy.
Spectacular! January 17, 2007

Yesterday we received your "Recollections" book. What a glorious collection of images to enhance the world of fine art photography! One page is more spectacular than the other. In these days when traditional photography seems to be headed towards the sunset, your artistry promises a new sunrise.
