PLACES STRANGE AND QUIET.




I mentioned Wim Wenders new book 'Places Strange And Quiet' on here before, but that was before I actually got the book. Well now I have it (I rule) so its worth mentioning the work (and the book) again. The book itself is a really beautiful object and contains short amounts of personal text about some of the images. Small, unpretentious, and almost perfectly formed, apart from the pull out pages which I really don't like as some of them are already damaged.
I could be wrong, but I often get the sense from Wenders photography that there is only one image, or one shot so's to speak. I can't imaging ten frames of the same image with slight adjustments.
Anyway, the thing I like most about the book is it's title. Simple and brilliant.
