“Norman Seider's work has a European and American sensibility. There
are stories and ghosts with each image. His light is mysterious. There is
poetry and there are things to discover in his photographs which are very
black and white.”
Jean Claude Lemagny, Director,
“Opening Scenes . . . another book with Norman
Seider's wonderful black and white images. Opening Scenes
shows Seider's background as a moviemaker and director. The images
represent that moment when the curtain rises and you look at the stage,
waiting for the actors to appear.” Tom Abrahamsson, Viewfinder Magazine “Odyssey - Patagonia to the Antarctic . . . Patagonia,
Argentina, is the type of place that has inspired adventurers since
the age of Magellan. Seider has followed in their footsteps, camera
in hand, giving us copious examples of both the beauty and harshness
of this particular end of the world. All exquisitely rendered in black
and white.” Darius Himes, Editor, Photo Eye Booklist "In Norman Seider's landscapes the present time seems banished.
The mood is mysterious, a reverberation of the past ...belonging to
no particular moment at all, simply falling outside of any time frame.
Yet we are then curious to know what event or in which film should
we expect to encounter such landscapes." Marc Peschke, Leica Fotografie International "Odyssey - Patagonia to the Antarctic...an extraordinary
selection of photographs. " Joaquin Cortes, La Fotografia "Opening Scenes.... 'The visual depth in Seider's
photographs contribute to their disquieting atmosphere. The physical
and metaphysical space is deeply unsettling. Seider finds older sections
of European cities, with their timeworn architecture and narrow, winding
streets evoking ghosts and echoes of the past." Dean Brierly, Black&White Magazine
