Catherine Opie: Chicago (American Cities) ReviewCatherine Opie is without a doubt my hero. Having studied with her for a year at Yale, I can honestly say that she one of the last true American photographers. The images in this small collection show her keen eye for detail and capturing the city with an eye that makes everything magical and new. Don't overlook the color images at the end of the book! They're understated beauty foreshadows her California surfer series that was on display at the Whitney Biennial. I anticipate her mid-career restrospective at the Guggenheim later this year.Catherine Opie: Chicago (American Cities) Overview

Bull Run: The Story of the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls The Greatest Team in Basketball History ReviewLazenby's book opens with the Bulls' heartbreaking playoff loss to Orlando in the 1994-1995 season followed by an offseason of introspection. What follows is a narrative of their record breaking regular season all the way to the championship. Each chapter tackles a key figure on that Bull championship team (Krause, Jackson, Kukoc, Rodman) interspersed with narratives of regular season games.
Lazenby provides the reader with a behind the scenes look on that historical season - the different strategies Phil Jackson uses to neutralize Miami's Alonzo Mourning for instance. My only complaint about this book is that it could have used a lot less pictures and more anecdotes.Bull Run: The Story of the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls The Greatest Team in Basketball History Overview

Barrio: Photographs from Chicago's Pilsen and Little Village (Chicago Visions and Revisions) ReviewI am no book critic, but I am an armature photographer and a native of the Pilsen neighborhood in Chicago very near where Mr. D'Amato shot the photographs and immersed himself in the daily lives of the people who live there to make this book. For me, Mr. D'Amato is a hero of urban street photography. The photographs are an excellent record of life in the Near West Side and Pilsen during the late 1980's. Paul D"Amato was able to capture and demonstrate the true fabric of this vibrant, bare nuckles, and often violent and changing part of the city. And to do so he found a way to weave himself directly into that fabric. Becoming freind and foe to gang members, business owners and average working class folks - the "story between the images" is an even more compelling tale then the photographs themselves. This book represents on mans solution to take what could have been a dry photojournalistic record of neighborhood life and instead converts the experience to one of immersion into the day by day and night by night struggles, battles and loving connections of family, friends and outsiders becoming insiders through shear guts and will.
A true inspiration for anyone interested in urban life, Chicago, Hispanic heritage or urban street anthropology, and of course photography. Thank you, Paul D'Amato for creating this wonderful book.
