= Parr/ Badger III, p.100: "There is a succession of photographers who have photographed the hedonistic lifestyle (...) but Dash Snow did it with the most panache. This is perhaps because he actually lived the life to the full. Most photographers who capture the sex and drugs scene maintain a certain distance. They have to, or the work suffers. But Snow's art was his life, to a unique extent. Born into a wealthy family he kicked his background in the teeth, becoming the black sheep of the family. Snow tragically died of a drugs overdose in 2009, at the age of twenty-seven".

= Schaubücher 27. Parr/ Badger I, p.130: "In the same year that his Paris was published, Moï Ver - under his real name of Moshé Vorobeichic - produced Ein Ghetto im Osten (...). Once again, he used a variety of New Vision strategies, the most obvious being to take many images from upstairs windows looking on to the narrow streets of Vilnius's old Jewish quarter. (...) He also introduced cinematic cutting and montaging techniques to heighten the interest. He combined elements of imagery, sometimes by double-printing negatives, sometimes by repeating identical or similar pictures, sometimes by pasting different photographs together, often with self-conscious free-form edges".
- Wrappers yellowed.
= Parr/ Badger p.229: "Despite the difficulties of taking photographs in such a tense and difficult situation [the military coup of 1973 in Chili], Wessing never forgets the value of composition and lighting control. The main thrust of the book is the coup's immediate aftermath, the shock and grief of the people, the rounding up of Allende's supporters (or suspected supporters) by the army, and their herding into the now notorious National Stadium in Santiago, where many would be tortured and killed. Wessing vividly captures one of these executions, in a two-page squence that forms the book's climax."
