This is one of the most beautiful books I have ever held. The homes featured are, of course, magnificent in themselves, but Leslie Williamson is no amateur photographer. She shot everything with natural light, which gives her photos a realness, a sense of how it would feel to live there. She also shot everything on film and is a compositional wizard...the photos are stunning.
If you like these photos then please, get your hands on this book. You will not be disappointed. I take the time to scan these printed materials because I enjoy sharing my interests and what I find beautiful and I like having a place to organize my findings. That being said, books cannot be beat. A photo book is an experience well beyond the scanning of an image and the turning of a page. It has a weight, a realness, and multiple textures. It has colors which cannot be adequately experienced through pixels...
I'm glad anyone looks at this blog and might share these scans, but please, let the prints live on! If you like a book or a photographer featured here, I urge you to find that book or a book by the artist you like and hold it in your hands. It makes for a totally different (and completely better) experience than what you find here on this blog.
