MORE THAN A WALK IN THE PARK April 5, 2008
0 out of 4 found this review helpful
Rather than the institutionalization of the haphazard or the formulaic translucence of a lace like screen on the surface of image upon image, the essence of Friedlander again emerges here: The photograph is primarily egalitarian in it's construct; that each graphic component within the frame is demonstrated to hold it's own considerable weight and value by virtue of the fact that it was chosen to be involved within the composition by design and with intent. The joy and revelation in the dance of tonality and form again reaches for the universal along with a sense of collaboration brought to the work of Olmstead. As well, as in his previous titles, this artist creates an equilibrium within which he integrates expressions of concern he has for our own, peculiar American cultural dilema, a balance which understands an essential order which, Friedlander says, can always be discovered within the seeming chaos of our being.
Excellent Landscapes April 3, 2008

What's amazing about Friedlander's Olmsted landscapes is that he captures such beauty and peace in such a variety of different scenes. Since the parks were created, some have not been well taken care of; for example, Prospect Park in Brooklyn is overgrown chaos. His high contrast photographs, another signature style, release that chaos into oblivion.
