Just a note to all those that helped...I have bought a number of used books of Amazon recently as recommended:

Paul Caponigro - New England Days
Wynn Bullock - Enchanted Landscape
John Sexton - Listen to the trees

and a few more on the way. Great choices and just what I was after.

Thanks!

Thomas Joshua Cooper, 'Dreaming the Gokstadt' is wonderful. Book not cheap though...!

Highly recomment like others, Koudelka - both Chaos and the newer Koudelka book for urban landscape (this guy is fantastic - what a unique vision).

Paula Chamlee - Natural Connections, Tuscany. Michael Smith - Tuscany. Brett Weston - White Sands, SanFran and possible the new New York portfolio for urban landscape.

Others have mentioned, Barnbaum, Sexton, Capanigro,...

May want to look at Josef Sudek Panorama - Prague (hard to find, expensive)

One worker that is a little different is the British photographer Paul Hill. I was impressed with his book "White Peak, Dark Peak" for its creative use of what we have a lot of in Britain, namely dull cloudy weather.

Regards,

David

John Davies Mist Mountain Water Wind ISBN 0 906 333 180
Thomas Joshua Cooper Point of no return ISBN 0-9540671-9-3
Josef Koudelka Cahier 6 ISBN 2-904-538-20-8

I agree with David Bebbington's suggestion of Paul Hill's White Peak Dark Peak

Of the three top photographers of the 20th Century the one I would suggest is Paul Strand and the book is "60 Years of Photography". After seeing Paul Strands negatives of the Southwest, Ansel Adams decided to become a photographer and not a pianist.

Just got:

Edward Weston - Legacy (WOW!!!)
E&B Weston - Dune
Don McCullin - Africa

All great books and I am so glad I splurged on Amazon. some were cheap slightly battered used ones but at 1/4 price of new there are few excuses for not expanding ones collection! The Edward Weston - legacy is incredible and I admit to enjoying Sextons Listen to the trees more than I thought I would.

Now that I have may entire baggage limit in books, I need to get a few home before I can order more. Koudelka looks interesting and will probably be next along with (if I can find a cheap one) B Weston - Master Photographer

These books are killing my boredom but giving me too many ideas that I cannot fulfil while working abroad! It hurts....security situation here has reduced mobility a little and I dont get out like I used to. Might bring a LF camera here to make me do it!

No one has mentioned Ray McSavaney's "Explorations"...one of my favorite and most inspiring books!

 

[Terence]

For industrials and some landscapes:
David Plowden - Steel Mill, Bridges, End of an Era, etc

Bernd & Hilla Becher - anything by them

 

[Loose Gravel]

Huntinton Witherill's Orchestrating Icons

 

[Mark H]

Eddie Ephraums' "Creative Elements" for both aesthetic and technical info.
