Fantastic book

I recently purchased Monsson by Steve MCurry. Monssons are really very special in India and the way he has captured monsoon in our part of the world is really an example of superb documentary and camera work. Im really learning from this book.

If I hadn't seen South Southeast, I'd have given thi 5 stars

This is a tremendously diverse collection of photographs, both geographically and culturally, and Steve McCurry is one of my personal heroes as a photographer. That said, the relatively poorer reproduction quality and maturity of the pictures looks shabby compared to his magnificent new portfolio book, 'South Southeast', and the unbelievable value of 'Portraits', both professionally printed by Phaidon Press. I don't think there are a crew of color prepress technicians in the world that can outdo Phaidon's, and that is the ONLY reason I am not giving this fine book a perfect score -- McCurry has proven since its publication that he was capable of even greater glory. (If you don't already have it, buy Portraits TODAY -- it is an incredible value!)

Riveting and unforgettable

This book is much more than pictures of the world's greatest weather phenomonon. It puts a human face on the monsoon. Unforgettable and powerful images.
