Reviews

The 'there, there' is beautifully photographed and documented for those who love Oakland and for those who wish to learn its secrets. <br>-Jerry Brown, former Governor of California and mayor of Oakland <br> For the past twenty years, Richard Nagler has wandered the streets of Oakland recording on film its people, its architecture, its changes. His sensitive photographs capture in split-second images the essence of Oakland. The result is a compelling portrait of a neighborhood, rich in drama, sometimes humorous, sometimes poignant - what Chekov called 'a slice of life.' <br>- L. Thomas Frye, Chief Curator of History at the Oakland Museum <br> By concentrating on its downtown, Richard Nagler has captured the beauty, the despair, and the contradictions of Oakland...With his portraits of alienated individuals, actors in a city undergoing transition, he may well be the Edward Hopper of the camera. <br>- Ishmael Reed, from the Introduction
