True Craftsmanship

The real places of power are on the pages of this book. I saw objects of stone and steel glow...an artist who respectfully renders them to black & white film and paper...skillfully crafting an image warm and luminous...bringing it to life. I feel that this book is a wonderful inspiration to people who are trying to understand the artistry of black & white photography. Gordon & Marilyn Bowie Boise, Idaho

Great job! Mr. Sexton

I am neither an employee of Ventana Publication, nor am I paid to write good words about this book. I have always been a fan of John Sexton's work. Who else alive can match his fantastic printmaking skills. I will say it with confident; none. John Sexton is the only person I know who comes close to the printmaking standards of Ansel Adams. "Places of Power" is all about beautiful prints. I am not a technology "freak," so I am in no postion to comment in this area. But if you love black-and-white images, photography, the zone system or large format images, this IS the book for you. Personally, I think $60.00 is a small price to pay to be able to appreciate John Sexton's work.
