"I met Voninski when I was a student at Western Kentucky University. I remember Voninski creating images that went beyond the typical American photojournalism standards. She has continued to do so and her newest work is visually complex in terms of its content and formal elements. One of her images in the book, "The Old Country: USA 1991," was made when she was in college. The image still holds up 19 years later and gives a hint as to what Voninski's current is, layered with content and poetry. The highlights for me in this large book are Jesse Marlow's walking wounded, James Brickwood's interpretation of parkour, Tamara Dean's lyrical take on rituals, Steven Siewert's pigeon racers and Tamara Voninski's black and white dream world."
