Complements is a gem, an intimate book to be savoured on first
readings and held near as a resource on what is meaningful. It
contains 110 luscious photos of small objects juxtaposed in ways
that evoke emotions, thoughts, questions, and remembrance of
beauty. The photographs tell stories, make wry jokes, and allude to
the larger realities of the esoteric. As complements, the objects
are more than the sum of their parts. A sentence or two of text
accompanies each photograph, creating storylines that draw the
viewer into the world of the objects as strongly as if the objects
were human, except their not being human allows the viewer a purer
sense of the message of their story. David Hume Kennerly, the
Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer, says in the foreword, "The
narrative and pictures reunite twins separated at birth." The
photographs pull the viewer in with their emotional content, then
ask the viewer to step back for another look - to both feel and
think, to understand truths beyond words. Complements is a gem, an
