photography happens to be one of those hobbies that i desperately wish i had time for. to fufill that desire i regularly hop over to my local borders for hours and hours of book candy. not only do i spend most of my time in the magazines and interior design section, i find myself constantly wandering over the photography books. This book is brilliant. Slim Aarons has a wonderful collection of works. Part of the reason he is so well known is his talent for capturing the art of luxuriously lounging poolside. (lounging poolside is one of the reasons i moved out to california). i'm hoping one day i get to own an original print.
