The Real South; Largely Unseen; Comes Alive in this BookBy Brian BrownThe people here are people of strong faith and Stanley Lanzano has created a beautiful portrait of an isolated world in True Places. As a photographer working on a similar project n Georgia; I can only hope to convey the feelings Mr. Lanzano brings to the pages of this book. If you enjoy documentary photography; Southern culture; or exquisite art; you wont be disappointed with this book.Brian Brown1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Understanding CommunityBy Lucy LabTo be transparent; I have know the author for 50 years; been aware of his dedication to this work;and was quietly curious about his photography.I pre-ordered a copy and was treated to an uplifting picture of a community of believers through the eyes of the author. The joys and sorrows experienced over the period of time taken to being this book to print; expressed through the printed word and photos; moved me to want to visit;celebrate;sing and pray with them. I purchased several more copies and gave them as gifts to friends and family for Chirstmas; all have thanked me more than once and then with smiles we say together "Lord; I wish I had a prayin Church tonight!"0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Excellent Words and Photographs ...By Tim ShropshireStanley Lanzano has a photographers vision ... that which cannot be taught; but has to be felt and learned. This book illustrates that perfectly in both his photographs and writings. I had the pleasure of being around Stanley when he was in the midst of gathering this book; and know his honest excitement and passion for what he photographs.A fine statement of a lowcountry preacher; his church and his people.Recommended.
