If it was an image stretched across two pages I could get it but this method adds little and, for me, takes away some of the. You have to press the book down hard to see the full image and it's just not worth it - the book is plenty big enough to just scale the image down a bit and fit in on one page. Why four stars? Throughout this book, there are some images (about a dozen I think) that stretch across one and a quarter pages and it's frankly annoying. his long career and on his many travels Steve McCurry has taken an incredible selection. Steve is one of those photographers whose works I collect, not only for the joy of them but to inspire me in my own photography - this is no exception and I will be checking the battery levels on my own camera when I finish writing this! Stories and Dreams: Portraits of Childhood (HB) by Steve McCurry.
This has been my take on a number of Steve's works and who on earth am I to criticise a master?! Many of these images are deeply immersive and invite you to look into the very soul of the subjects while others are more simple 'everyday' snapshots of life that have just been remarkably well captured. Within a few pages you know it's a Steve McCurry - full of energy, beautifully captured moments, vibrant, a seemingly inexhaustible ability to surprise and delight the viewer and all bound together with an engaging theme.
