just stumbled to this on the web. its a collection of 5 books, each with a photographer paired with a writer. photog provides the photos and writer tells a story based on them. theres hido, ballen, and some other pretty decent guys. would have loved the same collection without the dumb text. im sort of mad because its cheap, but its ruined too, so wont buy.
photobook thread i guess. hope this one goes beyond 30 posts.

>ruined too
What do you mean?

the insertion of text, the whole concept, is distracting and forced. maybe it COULD have worked better with original pics, but there are already seen photos inside, so its lazy too.
I bought all these and no one cares but in this thread just 1 person might care and find it neat so it's good enough.
I got all these, they should be coming in handy. Every time i look at these professional photographers I feel more and more significant.

why only old fucks?
>>3097844
Cause I shoot film and I only really care for the old fucks at the moment. These guys were the best so I want to study them.

its not only that theyre old, thats just a meme list. like you found a list on some site with the "top 10 essential classic photogs" and bought everything mentioned in there. i mean fucking brassai jesus. develop a taste by yourself.
>>3097849
No I have developed tastes, you're the meme shit. These are people I liked and have discovered on my own. Brassai and Atget cause I want to get more insight into street photography, Bill brandt cause I want to take more account of shadows and light and also being clever with limited resources and using your landscape.
Aperture Magazine cause it's aperture, And i'm interested in that era of photography.
Sergio cause I like his photographs, Daido and provoke for the japanese photographers, Edward weston for his nudes and still lifes, ansel adams to learn more about black and white.
yer the faggot.

What's wrong with Brassai?
women are the best paedoshooters.
