Some of the pictures were what I expected.. insight into a life. And some were just... pictures. Technically, to the takers, I'm sure all of the pictures were insights into their lives, but I felt like I wanted more from a book entitled "A Year of Mornings," where two photographers took pictures in their mornings and shared them with one another from 3,191 miles away. I expected to be moved more. Get a sense of something. And I didn't always love the composition -- either the composition of the actual photographs or the way they were displayed on the pages. Overall, THREE of five stars. My good friend is a great source of new books. When I arrived at her house today I was confronted with a stack of books to look at, review, read and peruse.

This book is the culmination of a year long joint blog project in which the authors posted a morning picture each day. I liked the idea of this book. It was mostly pictures and could be a source of inspiration. I can imagine putting a piece of tracing paper over one of the photos and tracing an outline of the shapes to get me started on a quilt. The photos have a certain color and 'Shabby Chic' aesthetic, which I think demonstrates the authors' style as well as their surroundings. One thing about this book is that it is a celebration of the every day. There are rumpled beds, half eaten bowls of oatmeal, braids and small children reading [b:Calvin and Hobbes|59715|The Authoritative Calvin and Hobbes|Bill Watterson|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170533896s/59715.jpg|1010526] at the breakfast table. I like that about this book, because I, sometimes, think that we look for the special and extraordinary outside of our lives and try to draw it in without looking at the specialness of the every day IN our lives. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
A Year of Mornings collects 236 images--always taken before 10 am without discussion between the two women--from this uniquely 21st century artistic collaboration. The intimacy of these photographs--discarded clothing, a view of a snowy day from the window, a tablecloth--combined with their striking similarities in color and composition defies the reality of their long-distance collaboration. While clearly kindred spirits, the two women have met in person only once. Their friendship is maintained solely online, sustained by a shared love for moments of serenity, solitude, and peacefulness. The annotated photographs in A Year of Mornings radiate an aura of sweetness and light--the promise of a new day. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

I guess that's why I still follow the blog and will be returning this book to the library. ( )
