A Place in the Sun Details
Each person's idea of a place in the sun, our personal Utopia, is quite different: it may be east of the sun or west of the moon. For some it is a cottage with roses around the door, for others a mountain top, and for many just a simple but content life.This book is an invitation to a visual journey around the world, with Hamilton playing guide and allowing us a glimpse of his own place in the sun.
Reviews
At first glance the youthful pictures take away from the flow of the essay. Then it comes together. This is a testament to Hamilton's artistry. He is rightfully called an arist that paints with the eye, lens, and darkroom. What truly sets him apart from other photographers, such as Sturges, is that he captures personality. One shows nudity as dull, while the other, brings charm and grace that quickens the pulse, not dulls the senses. Erotic is not in this book, but a dream-like reality that brings back better times. Not to dwell on, but to enjoy at ones older time.
