Re: favorite photography books
Thanks to all who have responded, and thanks for this, below, Dan. I swear I feel like a kid in a candy store. Today I was holed in the basement of our library with all the Oversize books. I found such gems down there! As much as one may say Ansel Adams is "passe" or whatever the crit, there are some gorgeous books with his work. I think on my faves list there must be 10 of hisbooks/books on him. I have found NUMEROUS examples of alt in collection books mostly--anthologies or museum collections, or exhibition records. Today I came across a very interesting one--Sheila Metzner's "Inherit the Earth". It is a very large book of none other than landscape FRESSON prints, all of them. What I find most interesting about this is that the color balance of her prints is always a bit "off" so you know that they are different than a normal process. Soft and grainy, too. I'd be interested in hearing about anyone's opinion on this book if you have seen it, because I am still thinking about what my opinion is....
