Product Description
Towering Mirrors is a study in visual abstraction, as well as a showcase of modern architecture. The volume takes us on a nation-wide tour of magnificent buildings, from Chicago to Dallas to Sarasota, Florida. The collection features incredible variety: some shots are humorous and full of color; some are curious and surreal; still others are somber and impressive. Using nothing more than skillful framing and careful timing, Weinberg perfectly captures the striking beauty of American skyscrapers. Each shot is an experiment in color and composition, making surprisingly interesting subjects of the ordinary places where people work and live.

A New Way to See a City November 4, 2006
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Weinberg's photography is beautiful: gritty and linear and simultaneously glossy and sensual--like the city he has depicted. But what I find most interesting is that his photographs of refelections on buildings have caused me to look for similar images, colors and reflections as I travel about. I'm seeing some of Chicago in a new and exciting way.
A fresh approach to architectual photography October 19, 2006

Mr. Weinberg has unchained the camera from the rigidity of classic architectual photography. His photographs of high rise buildings and the images that the reflections present has opened my eyes and enabled me to see structures in a new and magical way. The artist has taken steel, concrete and glass and transformed them into abstract art forms. Bravo, Dave Weinberg.

My dad is an architect and an art lover. Picked up this book for his birthday and he was thrilled. Nice value for the money and it really stood out as an easy choice to buy! I'm going to pick up a copy for myself.

amazing photography September 22, 2006

I am not usually a big fan of photo books but when I started flipping through this book at a friend's house, I couldn't put it down! The images are surreal and imaginative, to the point that the photographs seem to be of hand crafted jewelry or nature, not just of concrete, steel and stone. I ended up buying the book myself and even bought a second copy to give as a gift! Definately buy this if you like architecture, photography, or even just looking at something beautiful. I hope Weinberg puts out more books like this!
