All those colorful colors

The New England fall never fails to deliver the goods. There are plenty of those 'Something to remember her by...' books with a positive take on the small town shops and quiet residential streets, bridges, a church spire just sticking through the trees up a hill in the distance and of course those colorful leaves all photographed in pin-sharp detail but ultimately making the countryside look rather artificial, though nothing wrong with that if it's what tourists want. Then there are other photo books, with the contents taken by creative types like Gerd Kittel. I've had this book since it came out in 1987 (plus his other one: Southwest U.S.A. ) and though it only has eighty plates I've always enjoyed these photos. Kittel captures the normal and everyday: cars parked at night in Saint Albans, Vermont, under the a power pole with cables going in every direction; a gas station near Bethel, Connecticut; inside Henrique's Barber shop, Eastport Maine; the tourist viewing platform at Mount Hogback, Vermont and of course trees and more trees in all their magical colors. I don't think the photos look dated after two decades and why should they, the creativity shines through as one would expect from a professional photographer. Well worth picking up a copy of this handsome looking book. ***LOOK INSIDE THE BOOK by clicking 'customer images' under the cover.
