ReviewsO'Brien's work does not explicitly comment on the passage of time, but the theme pervades this new volume as we read of where many of the photograph's long-lost subjects ended up. For the celebrities, the effect is charming. We're briefly reminded of how public figures ranging from Beyonce to Laura Bush to Mack Brown appeared at younger stations in their lives....The wide frames, sober expressions and spare backgrounds make even those subjects without fame and riches -- the cops, farmers, churchgoers, and grocers -- look like legends in their own right. But set side by side over 140 pages, the photographs take on a haunting atmosphere.
