Interesting read; some of it is repetitive, but overall it shows how remarkably coherent he remains about his photographic style over the decades.
 
THis one is actually new to me and that is Nick Carver's 3 Nights in Arizona (2nd Edition) "Zin". It's a little small when you consider he shoots large format, it's thicker then I thought it would be too and has more then 3 nights in Arizona too.

Also, since it's nearly Xmass, I did quick record of Parke, Trent "The Christmas Tree Bucket: Trent Parke's Family Album." ‎ Steidl (January 15, 2014). 128pp. ISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 3869302062. This is probably his most directly person pice of work, but also probably his least snazzy book too.

I love this the most of all of his work... and a friend of mine thinks I'm crazy.
 
A trio of recent books, a Kodachrome and Galen Rowell fest. A photographer friend of my father's who was a coal miner, back in the day when the UK had such men, was want to say about such photographs "Tha knows opportunity's a fine thing". He once exposed a full 36 roll of transparency film on wet stones and pebbles on the beach at Llandudno on a "trip", he was fine photographer.
Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to all forum users, may the light be kind.

Framing the West - The Survey Photographs of Timothy H. O'Sullivan
Stranger Passing - Joel Sternfeld

Two vastly different books, but both, in their own way, are relevant to the complex question of who we are as Americans, and how we got to where we are. I confess it's rather an obsession of mine in these weird times.

Well the print run is 7,000 so that shouldn't be too difficult

I was slightly disappointed . Some shots don't belong or only belong if the book is meant as a synthesis of all his color work rather than a monograph restricted to a homogeneous style. Perhaps this is appropriate as GW doesn't seem to have had any coherent vision of his own work.

Yes, books/exhibitions of Winogrand's "work" can be a bit problematic--which images did he actually choose, and which ones came from frames that he never even saw as they came from one of the hundreds of *undeveloped* rolls of film he left at his death? I've got two posthumous books of his, and I'm really, personally, thinking I'm not again going to buy another. I've read criticisms of his later work and methods in general, in addition to the fact he never went through it to choose those images which were important to *him*. The article I've linked and others do make what I think are good points regarding the worth and legitimacy of photos that he had no association with other than snapping.

Well, I still haven’t been able to get it shipped to Chile at a normal price, that’s the issue. However, Thank you. I never like(d) all of his work, but I loved his color exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum. And his good work is really good. I probably have different expectations.
