A review of Clouds by Glen Snyder

Over on Musings on the Dérive I have published a review of Glen Snyder's photobook 'Clouds'. Check it out here. An quote from the review:

Snyder’s photobook distills 3,000 shots taken over three years while standing at the same spot on the bank of the Tama River that divides Tokyo and Kanagawa prefectures. Pared down to a slim volume, the power of the work is not the beauty of each individual frame but the meditative motif of people passing by under the sky and the small everyday beauty of these moments. In one frame a set of people are approaching and have passed each other in the next. A cyclist gazes up into the clouds. Others look to see where they are going. A schoolboy’s white shirt is caught in the light, a woman holding an umbrella is cast in shadow, a group of runners evenly spaced as they traverse through the frame and in another scene others muddle about. People and clouds drifting along.
