Early reviews: TimothyArchibald.com - Atomic Age by Martin Benjamin is a great book I've been living with for the past few weeks. By the time one finishes Atomic Age, the vibe coming from these photographs is optimistic and empowering...it kinda feels like love and humanity win in the end. Nippertown.com - Photographer and Union College professor Martin Benjamin has an eye for composition. He s been one of Nippertowns very finest lensmen for years. Robert Holmgren - Benjamin shows himself to be a product of his time and it was a time when photography was finding a voice to fit its time. Pleasure comes from the nostalgia derived from seeing how we used to process information. Martin Benjamin is there to remind us of what is currently in short supply. Nippertown.com by Bowtie - The constant across it all are the beautiful, perfectly composed portraits of his professional companion and wife, Donna. Calm, poetic, erotic and highly personal. Identified as being shot in cities around the world, they simply demand that we fill in some context on our own. Gabby - Just really beautiful.« less
