Robert Zuckerman, a highly regarded photographer of Hollywood film and of actors, has turned his attention away from the glittering world of make believe and focused instead on the ordinary. Yet in his eyes, and certainly in his writings that accompany each of the successful photographs in this sensitive collection these random encounters from routine, everyday life on the streets, the work places, cafes, and other niches that go unnoticed as being special, these moments transform from ordinary to become extraordinary.
Perhaps it is the honesty he finds with his camera; perhaps it is the story that grows out of the moment that made him stop to notice a child or adult or group. Richly colorful in presentation and content these 'kindsights' prove that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and with Zuckerman's gift he is able to make us all look again at the miracles around us. This is an uplifting and loving book that should be shared with good friends. Grady Harp, August 05
Althought I have yet to look at the book, KINDSIGHT, by Robert Zuckerman, I believe that it will be worthwhile to purchase and enjoy the photographs of people and nature. I am writing this not as his niece but as an interested teenager wanting to look at the beauty of the world. My Uncle Bob has worked with top movie directors on movies such as Training Day, I Know What you did Last Summer, The Crew and Big Trouble. His work can also be seen on Will Smith's new album cover. Not only does he photograph some of todays well known celebrities, he photographs everyday people doing ordianry things. I even have the privelege of being included in one of the portraits in his book. I believe that this book will inspire blooming photographers to look deep into nature and the beauty of the ordinary world as my uncle has.
