BOOKS SHIP THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY, WRAPPED IN PADDING, BOXED. "In this, his second book of photographs, Robert Stivers extends, deepens, and complicates the themes of mystery and movement, sensuality and spirituality, and the search for individual identity that occupied him in his first book, Photographs (1997). The aesthetic throughout couples soft focus with rich and subtle textures and tones, resulting in a collection that is amazingly coherent despite (or because of) its haunting and mysterious qualities."
