I understand your point. And I try always to understand others work and also to appreciate it. And there is noch such thing as „good art“ or „bad art“. Totally agree. But for me personally it‘s not irrelevant which photographs impress me and which not so much. It‘s simply because I have to make...

Yes. You are right. Unfortunately Berlin is too far away for me.

Yes. I agree. It‘s also not my cup of tea. But you mentioned Helga Paris. I like her work very much. Great portraits. Didn‘t know her work until recently. She was not very well known in the GDR. They didn‘‘t want her to exhibit because she was too honest obviously and they didn‘t want her to...

Yes. I know him. Just bought a copy of the 2nd edition of Waffenruhe for 14€ something. Really cheap. It‘s a little bit depressing in my opinion.

If I had the choice to spend 10.000 Euro either in gear like a Leica lens or in good photobooks I would prefer 100 good photobooks for 100 € each. I think it would help me to get a good photographer much more than the fancy lens.

Hi, just found this amazing forum. I‘m from Germany and we don‘t have a forum on photobooks here. At least I don‘t know one. So thanks a lot for this. To be honest. I like both Parke and Hido. It‘s mostly repetetive stuff. That‘s true. But the production is not cheap and the quality of „The end...
