I received Louisiana Through My Lens through Net Galley. It is a coffee
table book with photography by Chad Guidry and the design by Yvette Naquin. I chose the book because I will be taking a
trip to New Orleans later this year.
While the book did not feature photographs from New Orleans it did
exhibit some beautiful work taken in the bayous of Louisiana.
The only thing
lacking from the book was more information about where and when the photos were
taken. I would have liked to know more
about the pictures. The other thing was Net Galley offered a disclaimer
that the quality of the photos was not as good in my electronic copy as in the
actual book. For the most part I did not
think that it dismissed the quality of the photos to any serious degree. There were a couple pictures that seemed a
bit fuzzy, and I don't think it fair to judge based on the digital copy.
Overall, I found it
a very attractive book of photography. I
am not sure it is worth the list price of $35 for only 44 pages, however.

Beautiful pictures of a spectacular area of our county. The windernss and swapt look better on paper than when you are actually in them. True of many things.
