Huge (13”x10”, 300 pages) book of photos of what is arguably Dylan’s most productive and influential year - 1964–5. Daniel Kramer was selected to be Bob’s official photographer and spent a year and a day with him. The result is a fine portfolio of portraits, candids, concert shots and album covers. The brief text throughout by Kramer describes the circumstances of the photos as well as the relationship that developed with his originally reluctant subject. A steal at a half price sale from Taschen.
This is an absolutely beautiful coffee table book. I had it on my Amazon wish list for over year, but couldn't justify its $100 price tag. I found it on sale and decided to treat myself. I'm glad I did. The photographs are phenomenal. It's very well-designed and the stories and articles are engaging as well. It's definitely a keepsake and something that I will value for a long time.
La presentación es buenísima. Si vas leyendo el texto mientras ves las fotos, la obra te atrapa por completo. Aprendes, compruebas y entiendes cosas de la personalidad de Dylan en muchas de las fotos. Si eres fan de Dylan es obligatoria su lectura. Si no... pues va a ser que no.
