Diamond in the Rough - Joe Rosenthal

Last year, Meg and I took a weekend trip to our state capital, Raleigh, North Carolina.  Here we visited the NC Museum of Art.  It's not a bad museum, but I don't remember too much of it.  I do, however, remember finding this great little book of photography called "Regarding Manhattan" by a photographer I'd never heard of before. 

Turns out, this guy is somewhat of a local, living and working in North Carolina and the surrounding states.  Well I bought that book for $12.  A steal really.  I almost felt guilty as it seemed to be the cheapest thing for sale in the gift shop. 

Well, today I randomly stumbled upon a photography site and quickly realized it was this photographer Joe Rosenthal, whose book I had purchased.  This guy really is a great photographer.

Check out his site:  www.johnrosenthal.com

Be sure also to spend some time reading his writings on photography.  I've not come across better writing about photography than this.

Damn. I took a quick glance at his site. Some amazing work! I'll certainly be going back to spend a lot of time there both viewing and reading. Thanks for passing this along Chuck.

I'm with Craig... took a quick look and will be going back to appreciate more. Thanks, Chuck.. I do so like the discovering of someone's work I've never seen - work that is inspirational.
That's it.. I'm moving to a bit city ;)
