GAS? what about BAS?

I suffer badly from this - damn Amazon and their well stocked and low priced warehouses 😡

I keep them in bookshelves around our place. Bedrooms, living room, den, upstairs office etc. This usually means that when I look for a specific book - it takes a while, as I keep finding other ones that seem more interesting. Lots of french photobooks (Chambre Calire in Paris is a dangerous place), some Japanes, lots of English/American and some from the Nordic countries. Vancouver used to have a couple of good "old book" stores - now there is really only one McLeods. Messy and books stacked a bit hap-hazardly - but if you are willing to look, you will find something (McCullins "The Destruction Business" for $5).

Can you guess who my favourite photographer is?

And there are so many other books by so many others that it occupies and entire bookcase.

don't want to make things worse, but you need to add these to your collection: american photographs, walker evans at work, and the moma retrospective. the errata editions volume on american photographs is pretty good, too. 😀

BAS is great you never can read and reread enough.

I suffer from another type of affliction "GRS" Gear Rotation Syndrome.

My dream is one lens one camera and walk the earth, but then I read some review and I have to get that hardware wich is then to be sold shortly afterward.

OK I have outed myself.

Help me,

Please

Between my wife and I we have an extensive home "library". Photography, medieval/byzantine art, philosophy, mathematics, physics, theology, patristics, literature, unix programming and fly fishing books make up the big share of my shelves. My wife has other categories, too. Between the two of us we have over 6,000 books --- a little library that seems to keep growing. Everyone in my family loves to read.

Same here, real bad BAS (over 5000 and counting), and CDAS (over 1000 and counting)... The books are mainly history, art and music, the CDs are mainly classic rock and blues. I have to divide the GAS between musical instruments (6 guitars, 2 amps and 4 keyboards at the last count, not to mention recording gear) and photography.

Thankfully, the significant other has her shoes and bags 🙂
