Read about A. LaSalle's works.
"Seeing Archy LaSalle�s photographs for the first time is like seeing Fred Astaire dance for the first time: what you thought you knew suddenly seems incredible. But beyond LaSalle�s high choreography, beyond the poise and control and nonchalant transcendence, lies a feature in the work itself that�s most riveting: its daring simplicity. Just as Astaire dance numbers were shot from one camera in real time and without editing, so too LaSalle�s black and white conjunctions of architecture and landscapes enjoy an unencumbered authority."
Archy�s View, Christopher Mills, The Boston Phoenix, May 31, 1996
"It�s not just about the subject. It�s about the form that subject is reflecting back to me".
Panoramas That Beckon the Viewer to Enter, Kristen A. Conover, The Christian Science Monitor, June 5, 1996
"Crisp, formally composed, printed with affection for subtle details, they [photographs of Boston] underplay the distortion capabilities of the, Widelux camera and possess a bright alertness to the urban landscape."
LaSalle exhibits a sure touch, K.Wise, Boston Globe, December, 1883
"Archy LaSalle is a photographer who makes images of such extraordinary clarity and composition that we might naturally assume that they have been staged. The truth is that these arrangements in natural or urban settings occur exactly as he finds them, but it is the finding that is critical.
LaSalle looks hard for that mythical moment in time and space that makes photography what it is."
Mythical Moments in Time and Space, Addison Parks, The Christian Science Monitor, March 25, 1993
