At first sight this book may look like any other book of found photography. However, it quickly becomes clear that Geert van Kesteren’s work has a unique twist on this theme. That is, the photographs and accompanying texts are from some of the world’s hot spots. That, coupled with the immediacy of the images coming from a cell phone, offers readers the opportunity to view areas of the world that would not be considered welcoming to many of us.
