To the street-wise ethos of Cartier-Bresson, lucky readers (i.e. those who find this work) can now add Ara Guler. Choice of subject, angle of attack, and much else receives informative innovation from this master of observation, light, and capture... there is a word, some word, missing in that sentence. It is the descriptive adjective that goes before "capture." The adjective is missing because of the limits of my own language in the face of Guler's mastery, photographic and so much more. In this book Gruler's photographs reveal him to be a social scientist, a storyteller, a painter of mood and action, and more, much more. Put away this failed effort to suggest how good are Guler and this book. Order the book instead.
