Summary: Simply awesome photos
December 4th, 2008

Fair warning statement: I provided some of the photo captions so I have a writer's credit in the book, and I am carrying it in our store.

I jumped onto this project as soon as Serge told me about it because a fencing coffee-table style book has never been done before and Serge's photos and style are so suited for this very project.

The photographs chosen are amazing and convey the emotion and athleticism in fencing.  The creativity of these world class fencers is amazing and Serge's ability to know when to shoot a photo lets those stories be told.

One segment to note in the book is a sequence of photos of the now famous "Jumping Jonathan" shot.

We just had the books delivered today and every person that has come into the store has been wowed by it.
