Di Giovannis landscapes seem intimate and mythic, while the still lifes are vast and openinterior and exterior are interchangeable. True Places Never Are resequences this series of medium format photographs (originally released as three separate photobooks) and adds several previously unpublished images. The result is a fresh, cohesive body of work ""
