Us and Them. Alice Springs and Helmut Newton.
I was lucky to catch the older and bigger version. The new paperback with the front in colour is very small and of inferior print quality.
I saw the large exhibition in Schloss Moyland, Germany, near the dutch border. Absolutely great!

Patrick Lichfield was one of the reasons I started using Olympus Cameras back in the day, he really knew his stuff, a brilliant photographer and undermentioned when talking of great UK photographers. I have a couple of his books somewhere in the collection.

An inquiry into the practice of photography with the central thread of the role of chance explored in (great) depth within the work of a selected number of icons of the genre. A strong bias to the U.S.A although in defence Talbot and Cameron begin the exploration.
Almost unreservedly recommended with the reservation being the neglect to examine the role played by the photo-book Frank “The Americans” does get a passing mention.
When around 15% of the content is devoted to copious, and in many places enlightening, footnotes you should suspect this is going to be a serious read and so it proved.
Ansel Adams and Henri Cartier-Bresson do not escape a serious “putting in their place” and are convincingly deflated this should act as a warning to the sensitive reader not to venture within. They would however probably rather enjoy the forensic examination of the pernicious art-world bias against photographers.

Amazing the pre-war political similarities in some areas with those of today.

Low-Light and Night Photography, by the much-missed Roger Hicks. As usual, full of sage advice, if sadly in many instances hopelessly obsolete when it comes to film recommendations. And spot the upside-down photo on page 113!

Although allegedly a seventies book, the photo examples must have been ancient and hackneyed when the first edition came out. When was the last time anyone raced a rigid 'n' girders motorcycle?

Leitz General Catalogue, 1966. A pressie from the (heartbreakingly sad) West Yorkshire Cameras final clearout. Thanks Chris!
