A new visual perspective on modern, post-industrial photography. Monuments of Chaos is a 100-page photography book that features graphical interpretations and visual abstractions of power plants, including photos of some of tallest smoke stacks and largest generating stations in the world. If that doesn’t entice you to obtain this book at any cost, I can’t imagine what will. That said, I’ve done my best to present these images in a manner to maximize both the photographic composition and it's visual impact. Hopefully, you'll find these images as evocative, forboding and elegant as I do. They stand as dramatic testaments to the power of the image and how it can shape our preconceptions. Now drop everything your doing and turn the page...

"Monuments of Chaos review by Steve DeGarmo"
Pretty interesting book here - falls somewhere in the graphic arts/photography category, but it's really niche in and of itself. Power plants? Graphically embellished? That's a new one, but as the blurb says, you'll have to see it to understand. The colors are vibrant in spots, grungey in others - intentional, I'd imagine, and the selection of power plants and composition is impressive. Quite a number of these wouldn't look out of place, enlarged to poster size and framed. I really enjoy seeing the "universe" backgrounds - kinda trippy. I'd definitely recommend this to folks into design, photography and those looking for something different.
