This is the latest edition of Diamian's coverage of Michael Stipe's photographic creativity. Like the previous three titles, the images are incredibly personal to Michael and as there is no text (except for a back page of captions) this allows the reader to interpret the photos in maybe the same personal way.
The seventy images, with seven in colour, are a mixture of portraits, still lifes, inside houses and landscapes. A bit of fun pops up here and there. For example, page eleven has a bunker by the sea in Puglia, Italy showing Michael's shadow as he photographed the structure, the caption says Bunker (homage to Lee Friedlander), Lee frequently included his shadow in many photographs.
The book's large size (24 x 33 centimetres) helps display the photos and fans of REM and Michael's creative work will enjoy his latest publication.
