Photographer Lee Friedlander copyright 2008 published by Radius Books Lee Friedlander: New Mexico was published concurrently by Radius Books with the Friedlander exhibition at the Andrew Smith Gallery Santa Fe, NM in the Fall of 2008. Thus in one sense this book can be viewed as one heck of a great catalog. Usually I defer to the end of the review... Continue Reading →
