And I agree about the design. I think the images would benefit from the extra breathing room and surrounding white space. It's really too bad... but I still love the work. Frederico,

I'm not sure whether the reason is that Motherland begs for larger images (and a larger book) or that the text included gets (visually) in the way most of the time, and therefore it is a layout problem... What is your opinion? I'm certainly not against small books. Incidentally, I've just bought "Paul Strand at work" by Steidl + Aperture and I find it beautiful...
