"In teaching photography, my basic instruction is `When your mouth drops open, click the shutter!' " writes Feinstein (One Hundred Flowers), and in these volumes, he collects the most jaw-dropping close-ups of the two flower varieties. Shot against a stark black background and accompanied only by the flower name (Fringed Carnival, Sexy Rexy, etc.), the flowers burst to the forefront, bright in hue and voluptuous in form. These are the types of photos that one can pull out and frame, and indeed, some flower aficionados might be compelled to do so. A fitting choice for gardeners and those who wish to give their loved ones a more lasting bouquet on Valentine's, these books will remind readers why flowers, and especially roses, are so symbolic of tender sentiments.

Harold Feinstein's distinguished career in photography began in 1950, when Edward Steichen purchased his work for the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art and exhibited it frequently during his tenure there.

Feinstein's photographs have also been exhibited by and represented in the collections of the International Center of Photography, the George Eastman House, the Museum of the City of New York, and the Musie d'Art Moderne in Paris. His work has appeared in such periodicals as Life, Audubon, Connoisseur, and Popular Photography.
