A photo book of ladies of all kinds.
23. Oktober 2011
Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
[For some reason, the video is showing up sideways here, despite me recording it just as I record all my other video reviews. Maybe Amazon will fix it, but if not, it should still show enough.]
It's a shame that there are barely any new photo books being printed of 'older women' these days, and to get a good one, you have to search high and low. With the whole 'cougar' trend of the last couple years, there've been a few books full of pictures with glammed up ladies with enough plastic surgery work done on them that could rival Joan Rivers. Facing It, luckily, isn't one of those books. And even better, it's about 90% photos and 10% text. There are no huge essays here, and what text there is, is insightful and genuine. A lot of it is quotes from all kinds of women, with one of them even coming from Madonna.
The variety in this book is fantastic. Women in their 40s, 50s, 60s and older are featured here, and only a small handful of them have the 'professional' look to the photos. I don't mean that in a good or bad way, but it's obvious that the great shot of Annie Lennox was shot in a completely different way from, well, just about everyone else here. Her shot is still gorgeous, and was a big surprise when I saw it. The majority of the photos are very casual, being taken on the street, in the woman's home, or out in the country. The quality of the photographs is all over the place, with some being crystal clear and others being on the grainy side, as if they were just taken out of an old family photo album and scanned for this book. That gives Facing It a special feeling like this book IS an old family photo album, though nearly everyone shown in this book is unrelated from each other.
What keeps it from being a 5 star book is that the layout of the text could have been handled better, and the book has a thin softcover. My first copy was damaged during shipping and I had to search for a replacement, so just be careful with how it's shipped if you purchase it. This book is definitely worth buying though, just for the sheer variety of women shown.
