Making Mischief

 
The Here and Now

 

The Here and Now
By Sam Jones
144 pages. HarperCollins

You know it when you leaf through his collection of photos, The Here and Now (HarperCollins): Sam Jones is a man of mischief. That's why George Clooney, in his pool, also waddles around in flippers for this celebrity photographer and director, why Renée Zellweger giggles like a ticklish kid. Jones is an artist who covers a street with banana peels, then lets loose his subject, Steve Martin, to make a scene. For a photographer this inventive and engaging, even world-class celebrities get real. That's candid camera at its best.
