Uelsmann Did It First In The Darkroom
What many of us are now doing on our computers for our art work, Jerry Uelsmann, a professor and photographer in Florida did first in the darkroom. "Process and Perception," by John Ames and Jerry N. Uelsmann shows page by page the surreal imagery of things that don't go together in the real world but are hauntingly combined in Uelsmann's photographs. He wisely stayed with black and white in all of the images because he evokes the dream world or the world evoked by the photographic negative. Color would have competed with his imagery too much. You see a woman's body floating above the water or combined with the roots of a tree or water running backwards as a person emerges from the sea, to name just a few of his works. These are all fantastic combinations and he must have spent grueling hours in the darkroom achieving these photographs. I think any artist or photographer will be inspired by his work. ... Read more

A wonderful book!
This was the first book I had seen with Uelsmann's work in it, and it blew me away. Including history of the photos, a look at Uelsmann's career, and quotations from the man himself, this book is both interesting and informative. "Twenty-five Years:A Retrospective" contains 140 masterpieces done by Uelsmann between 1954-1981. This book is a must have for photographers and non-photagraphers alike! ... Read more
