Visual Acoustics - Julius Schulman

An awesome and very entertaining documentary film on the best architectural photographer ever lived !!!

I personally think that Schulman was one of the great master photographers who inspires other master photographers...

"Arakimentary" about Nobuyoshi Araki

Frankly probably best for those with either a curiosity in his work or a preexisting appreciation of it. Not unlikely to offend newcomers or the more conservative among us. I adore it.

FWIW soundtrack by DJ Krush.
