"The images are more than visual, they are loaded with content, stories, and evoke emotions rarely projected. This is much more than a collection of excellent photographs; in a quiet way it tells the story of everyday with high drama."

'Throughout Volk's photographs and writings, he couples the outer act of gazing with an inner search for meaning. What Volk accomplishes in his work is a graceful but penetrating movement through the world-whether in New England or Japan, Paris or Dallas. And true to his first artistic inclinations, as evident here from over 50 years ago, he continues to remain open to truth and beauty wherever it may be found."

". . .His imagery is magically - as well as vibrantly, lyrically, evocatively and, yes, obsessively - poetic. Architecture may have been the subject by which Volk chose to define a significant portion of his "professional" career, but his concerns remain truly modern and touch upon all things from history, symbology, philosophy, music and, thank goodness, art itself. He speaks and photographs in the voice of all these humane and "caring" concerns and, as such, has found the poetry of life and light itself."
