In this his first book, prize-winning photographer Lee Manning has approached the art of portraiture with a sense of awe and wry humor. Although his camera lens has traveled the world overall from Vietnam, Portugal, Philippines, and Russia to Alaska and excursions in the American Southwest, he insists that each portrait is its own country. Part of the pleasure in experiencing a Manning photograph is found in its exquisite sense of humanity. Indeed, there exists in all his images a generosity of spirit that defies convention. Viewing these photographs, one is struck by their tenderness and their wit. Whether prince or pauper, child or aging patriarch, poet or priest, actor or street musician, these images stagger the eye with their quiet virtuosity. - James P. Bixler, Reviewer, Spirit Dancer Books.
