Photographs of cemeteries, Lourdes supplicants, a Trappist monastery, statues of the Madonna, Ellis Island, and Ireland are accompanied by the photographer's comments
I really find Burden’s photographs very beautiful. I have purchased a number of his photographic books and they worth savouring and not galloping through. Presence is a collection of photographic themes that he has published in other books so it gives you quite a good flavour of his work. There is also some interesting commentary during the different themes. This is a lovely book which I will dip into again and again.
