Reviews
This book is a collection of some of Irvings most prolific work. What stands out about this particular book is the beautifully printed representations of Irvings master prints.Look at this book and you will see the roots to much that has affected the better photographers from the past 20+ years. Irving is the maestro when it comes to work without gimmick or pretense, his eye is always unfailingly in tune with what he was set to photograph and how he wished to represent it. This is classical photography like there is classical oil painting. Enjoy this folks, after Irving..there just aren't too many more alive.
