Photography by Grahame Sydney
Penguin, NZ$115 | Reviewed by Andy Palmer

WHEN I recently reviewed Roger Donaldson’s book, All Dogs Shot, I commented that some photography books seem to get published because of the person and not the work. White Silence falls into that camp and while Donaldson’s photographs definitely have merit I’m not so certain about this book. I’m not really sure of its purpose beyond an expensive souvenir of Grahame Sydney’s time in Antarctica.
