Which is your favorite photobook/s of all time that you can recommend to others? Which photobook/s are your least favorite ones? > FavoritesNew York in color by Ernst Haas. GOAT. Good quality and amazing photography.> Least favoriteMarvin E Newman Photographs 1949 - 1983. Shit binding, a handful of great shots (2-3?), some decent and a lot of shit. Some seems to have really fucked up colors (degraded color negative film?). I dont think whats shown in the book is good enough to be published in this format, a big Coffee table book with many pages. Should have taken the decent shots and put them in a small cheap pocket book. This is a cash grab. Honorable mention to; Ara Gülers Eye of Istanbul, saw a few images from it and was stoked before ordering but those 4-5 are the only really strong images. Lots of boring photos.
Favorites include Yokosuka Story & Yokosuka Again by Miyako, From Uncertain to Blue by Keith Carter, Sentimental Journey by Nobuyoshi Araki, The Pencil of the Sun by Shomei Tomatsu, and Das deutsche Volksgesicht by Lendvai-Dircksen.
>>4505102>From Uncertain to Blue by Keith CarterI discovered Carter few months back and it was a surprise. Very romantic and kino aesthetics. What are your thoughts on his work?
I hate any photobook that's "le epic alternative underground of new york"Fuck off with that shit
>>4505359The work of his that I like is very idyllic and a bit vernacular, much of it reminding me of a Texas that I can hardly remember; From Uncertain to Blue is touchingly nativist. Ezekiel's Horse is also fantastic, horses are quite difficult subjects and his composition there is great.
