By way of follow-up to his critically acclaimed debut monograph "Sleeping by the Mississippi," Alec Soth turns his eye to another iconic body of water, Niagara Falls. And as with his photographs of the Mississippi, these images are less about natural wonder than human desire. "I went to Niagara for the same reason as the honeymooners and suicide jumpers," says Soth, "the relentless thunder of the Falls just calls for big passion." The subject may be hot, but the pictures are quiet, the rigorously composed and richly detailed products of a large-format 8x10 camera. Working over the course of two years on both the American and Canadian sides of the Falls, Soth edited the results of his labors down to a tight and surprising album. He depicts newlyweds and naked lovers, motel parking lots, pawnshop wedding rings and love letters from the subjects he photographed. We read about teenage crushes, workplace affairs, heartbreak and suicide. Oscar Wilde wrote, "The sight of the stupendous waterfall must be one of the earliest, if not the keenest, disappointments in American married life." Niagara brings viewers both the passion and the disappointment--a remarkable portrayal of modern love and its aftermath.

评分遺憾的是沒有時間讓霸道小姐坐下來完整翻看一遍，當僅看選做影集封麵，這張旅館床單上兩隻用白毛巾擰成的天鵝作品時，霸道小姐以一種鼻孔齣氣的方式，笑瞭~
评分alec soth和stephen shore(近期，非早期）有一個共同點，就是他們的照片都不太有技術痕跡，而形成一係列沒有技術痕跡的作品本身反而成瞭一種技術....（？）
