is yet another beautiful book
Nadav Kander: Yangtze, The Long River
this is a wish that might come true next year
depending on my economical situation
the book is not that expensive, but is not out yet in the US
actually, i would love to only be able to watch
the wonderful prints, more than even own the book
here some information on photographer Nadav Kander
and his website http://www.nadavkander.com/
The Guardian UK has a very interesting review of the book
"The river," writes Kander, "is embedded in the consciousness of the Chinese, even for those who live thousands of miles from it. It plays a significant role in the spiritual and physical life of the people."

wonderful year 2011!
Holà Berenice,
You certainly have been a good woman during 2010 and maybe even a good girl. This being so, maybe destiny will prevent you from having this book.
I looked into all links and all photos available and can't help thinking this might saddle you with a melancholic strain during 2011. Abord, abord, abord.
If you really need to look at good photos depicting Mother Earth, have a look at this link, good old Bertrand makes splendid photos
http://www.yannarthusbertrand2.org/
but he abstains from showing us the shit the Chinese are creating at home while trying to sell us cheap stuff that doesn't last long.
Good luck my dear and remember "abstain, abstain, abstain".
Georg
thank my dear friends for all your nice wishes! dear Geisslein thank you for sharing your lovely words and great images through your blog, it's always peaceful to visit the corners you portrait!
dear Diatton, i hope 2011 brings you even more music and books!
dear Herr Thilolito!! i send you a BIG hug and really hope 2011 is the year you come back nach Kalifornien to visit and enjoy the sun hier
Herr Georg, thank you always for your superb notes and your inspiration.. that's a great link you shared, thank you!! yet i must argue that i LOVE the book i chose, if you read what these Chinese photographs are about and what's the sense of the book, then you'll realize that the "somber" mood is to match... do read the Guardian review and you'll see why!
thank you again to everybody and i am really thankful to you all for reading this blog and blessing me with your lovely comments!
please keep on visiting me! and please keep on posting all the interesting things you all do on your respective blogs
peace, love, health, and smiles for you all in 2011
