45301 Now that I actually have a copy of this book, I'm having to eat my earlier words! There are some lovely photographs in here, including my personal favourite "Jardin de Luz", and it's interesting browsing the scrawl behind the images, reading scraps from poems and maybe analysing Viggo's handwriting to see if you really are made for each other! If you like what you see, go to the buy! page and purchase his work.

Abstract images, fragments and phrases from poems, notes, journals, words/thoughts remembered or imagined as they slip away, come together in 45301 to create a dense, thought-provoking photography book. Many of the photographs were shot during Mortensen's recent travels to Morocco, Cuba, and the northern plains of the United States, but could have been shot in your backyard. Depending on one's point of view, the imagery can be seen as either fighting with light or embracing it, holding time or forgetting it. 8.5 x 9.75 inches. ISBN 0-9721436-3-7. 94 pages.
