Customer Reviews

Honest pictures!!

A beautifully simple and simply beautiful book. Wonderfully seen photographs that really do capture and celebrate the human spirit. So many other photography books seem to be published solely to be jarring, hip, and fashionable. People's Lives stands out from this crowd as genuine, authentic, and mostly, just plain real. Well worth the price of admission to this more gentle view of our world.

Finding the dignity of people where ever they are.

Bill Wright's wonderful photographs and commentary have a unique abilty to draw the reader/viewer into an emotional attachment to his subjects. I've yet to see one that didn't make me think, "I'd like to know this person."

People's Lives - A Testament To The Human Spirit

Bill Wright's latest book is his best to date. Once you open the book, start looking at the beautiful images and read the text, you will become so engrossed you will not be able to put it down until you have read every page and studied every picture. With so many things happening in the world that are so negative, this book is extremely uplifting. Wright's book is a testament that the human spirit is alive and well and thriving everywhere...........you just have to look for it.

Not to Be Missed Photography Book
