What language is that sentence in? I fail to grasp its meaning...
Yeah man I speak a few languages and that doesn't compute in any of them! My books used to be all on shelves. Somehow now they are piled up. When you run out of room side to side, you move to up and down. Much more room up and down....
I have a friend who is a book fiend. He had a custom bookcase built for his collection to the tune of, well, I don't want to say. I think he only got away with it because his wife messes around with horses IIRC so I doubt she could complain. I guess everything is relative.
Understood. I have a 500 C/M and a few lenses. Great cameras, you won't be disappointed.
I did break down and add "Chris Killip 1946-2020" to my collection. A career retrospective, it is quite nice but I like "In Flagrante Two" a bit better.
I also have both. I don't like the quality of the printing in the 1946-2020 retrospective.
It was printed by Steidl. I am OK with the quality of the printing, the layout bothers me, some of the images deserve to be larger. I think that is part of my preference for In Flagrante Two.
I went back to it, and you're right. I probably left me a poor impression because of the comparison with In Flagrante Two. I love his photographs.
Interesting find today. Had a few minutes before a meeting and stopped at my usual used book store. To my great surprise, there was Nicholas Nixon's Une infime distance, catalogue published by Atelier EXB of a Nixon retrospective that took place at the Galerie Le Château d'Eau in Toulouse in 2021. Quite happy to finally have an overview of his work.
Good score.
I may have asked this before, but does anyone own Opening the Sky by Larry Fink? I feel like I "need" that book for some reason.

While we're on the "who owns" subject, anybody has books by Mimi Plumb? Wondering which one to get...
The only Mimi Plumb book I own is Megalith Still. I love horses and there are some beautiful photos of horses in the book. If you're looking for a broader view of her work, Radius Books recently released a book titled Blazing Light that is "published to coincide with Mimi Plumbâs first solo museum exhibition (High Museum of Art) and brings together three of her major bodies of workâThe White Sky, Landfall and The Golden City, and The Reservoir". I don't own it but it looks interesting and Radius puts out a high-quality product.
Killip's In Flagrante Two and Sea Coal are two of the best printed books in my collection. I haven't seen the retrospective book, but it's disappointing to hear that the print quality isn't up to these other Killip/Steidl publications.
Thanks for this. Corresponds exactly to what I was looking for. Book ordered.
Let us know what you think of it once you receive it.
For those with a major interest in 19th C. French photography, I came across "The Stillness of Hajj Ishmael: Maxime Du Camp's 1850 Photographic Encounters," by Julia Ballerini, iUniverse Inc., 2010. This is a deep dive into Du Camp's photo expedition along the Nile and the resulting 125 images he brought back to Paris and published as the first photography book of its kind. I find it totally fascinating.
Added a few things to the collection in the past 3 months:
- Guido Guidi: Cinque Viaggi 1990-1998
- Guido Guidi: Col tempo, 1956-2024
- Jo Ractliffe: Out of Place
- Peter Hujar: Portraits in Life and Death
- Luigi Ghirri: Puglia
- Mimi Plumb: Blazing Light

I stumbled into an Architects without borders art/book sale last weekend. I left with 3.
1 was an oddity called The Cannibal's Cookbook that I couldn't pass up
The other was an older title, Bridges;The Spans of North America with photographs by David Plowden. I enjoy his work, and had not seen this one before. It is beat up, and the printing is not great, but it is from 1974
Lastly The Photograph and the American Dream
$30 plus tax for everything.
I found this last year in a pile at an antique vendor and can't remember if I mentioned it;

It occurs to me that no-one has mentioned the book Ground Time by pilot and photographer Kent Reno, in this thread (Iâve done a search to check). Itâs the warmest, happiest photobook in my possession.
I saw he died about two weeks ago, on May 4th. There are a couple of books of his I'd love to get one day.

I picked up Frank Gohlke's Landscapes from the Middle of the World which was put out by Friends of Photography. I knew very little about Gohlke though I knew of him. Interesting that he had an education in English like Adams and their work is similar in ways. Nice book. I have a few Friends of Photography books and they are all good. I just remember FoP back when I started photography. Nothing like it these days.
I was unaware of this, thank you for passing the news. He did very compelling work, and was dedicated to it for decades. I have his book "Vanishing Point," which is a great retrospective. I highly recommend it.

Short and light interview with David Campany talking about photobooks.
Thanks for sharing. Very sober and worthwhile.
