By way of follow-up to his critically acclaimed debut monograph "Sleeping by the Mississippi," Alec Soth turns his eye to another iconic body of water, Niagara Falls. And as with his photographs of the Mississippi, these images are less about natural wonder than human desire. "I went to Niagara for the same reason as the honeymooners and suicide jumpers," says Soth, "the relentless thunder of the Falls just calls for big passion." The subject may be hot, but the pictures are quiet, the rigorously composed and richly detailed products of a large-format 8x10 camera. Working over the course of two years on both the American and Canadian sides of the Falls, Soth edited the results of his labors down to a tight and surprising album. He depicts newlyweds and naked lovers, motel parking lots, pawnshop wedding rings and love letters from the subjects he photographed. We read about teenage crushes, workplace affairs, heartbreak and suicide. Oscar Wilde wrote, "The sight of the stupendous waterfall must be one of the earliest, if not the keenest, disappointments in American married life." Niagara brings viewers both the passion and the disappointment--a remarkable portrayal of modern love and its aftermath.

他說這是一段錶現愛的旅程 而在美國 當人們為愛而旅行的時候 總是選擇去尼亞加拉 所以他將這裏作為拍照對象
评分濃鬱獨特的氣氛躍然紙上，尼亞加拉之旅是一次精神之旅。
评分再讀這本畫冊時，不自覺得感受到alec的厲害之處，吸收瞭august sander人像中的客觀與paul strand的直接攝影，有時他的人像又會讓觀者感覺是難分真假的stage photography，但無一不深刻準確揭示瞭人與人件細膩豐富的感情，雖然現在再看，其攝影語言已經被當下其眾多追隨者反復運用，顯得有些乏味與厭倦，但是作為一個對自己的攝影有深刻理解與思考的攝影師，在當下這種急於求成跟風嚴重的環境裏alec soth對攝影對生活的態度始終值得佩服和學習。
评分alec的照片都有一種無法描述的平靜
评分nice/contemporary documentation
