January 24, 2020there was a poor selection of photography books at the library, but I'm glad I found this one and want to look at more of her work. I especially liked the landscape shots in part 1. didn't like the borders around the pictures used in the book design.

Prepare to be stunned by a variety of photos of the natural world, many in pensive black and white. Those only familiar with Linda's portraits of Sixties musicians will be surprised and delighted by these images.
