Kodachrome Memory: American Pictures 1972-1990
"...while Mr. Benn didn’t set out to assemble a  book 40 years later composed exclusively of Kodachrome work, it  happened that that work made up the bulk of his best-preserved images." —New York TimesLENS blog"Mr.  Benn's unshowy compositions and the rich, clear colors of his  Kodachrome slide-film makes his images seem both timeless and  particular."-Wall Street Journal"In picture after picture, America emerges with beguiling freshness"-The Independent"[Kodachrome Memory]  conjures a by-gone Americana that's poignant, humorous, and full of  contrasts: society ladies and impoverished families, vintage cars and  aerial crop dusters, lonely rebels and flag wavers. And slide shots  evince more surprises from a visually rich era."-American Photo"Nathan Benn...filled  [Kodachrome Memory] with common place objects and people but his images  are the product of careful study and imagination. They evoke a sense of  time and place and a true feeling of "Americana". It is a beautiful  reflection of the time when both Kodachrome photography and America were  celebrated"-Apogee Photo Magazine"[National  Geographic] always had important messages to convey and Benn did his  best to oblige. Yet that is not why his best pictures ravish us today:  despite the passage of time...what remains are the elemental seductions  of his craft, a four-way love affair between America, Kodachrome, Leica  and gorgeous light."-The Independent
