"His documentary photographs rely on the traditional, humanistic beliefmay it never leave usthat meaning is implicit in the world and that personal feeling can be given form on film... Liebling's view is sympathetic, skeptical, and tougha harsh poetics of the human condition."

Vicki Goldberg, American Photo

"One of the most sensitive and original chroniclers of postwar American life... There's much that's left to the imagination and much revealed. These are the photographic equivalents of Raymond Carver's short storiesfleeting, poetic glimpses of the tragedy of American life."
