Most of the books that I have written about contain within their photographs an implied metaphor or meaning that provokes the viewer into different frames of mind.

There are other photographs that excite but with an innocence steeped in the purest pleasures of looking and examination of a subject clearly and interestingly described by an artist and camera. Larry E. McPherson’s The Cows published by Steidl is such a book that I enjoy for just these reasons.
