Unless you actually pick up the book and thumb through it a bit, this is not the kind of book you think it is. This is a wonderful coffee table book you can spend a few minutes at a time with, or read and look at for hours. Jordan Matter, is a photographer, as well as an observer of movement. So he combined his love of photography, his love of movement, and included some quotes from Henry David Thorough, William Shakespeare, and even Mae West, "Too Much Of A Good Thing, Can Be Wonderful" into this enchanting nugget of reading. *** It is important to note that nothing in this book has been Photoshopped. Yes, some of the scenes look dangerous, and they are, but it was one moment captured in time. In this book dancers are put into unusual scenes. Nothing is rehearsed, some of them he captured within 5 frames others took hundreds. The one scene that caught my eye was a dancer in the operating room of a hospital. I asked about how he was able to get permission for all of these scenes. You have to hear his answer for this one!
