Ignore It (It'll go away)
Joel Peter Witkin, Disciple and Master. Witkin can be tough to take, but to see the image that influenced his image, side-by-side, and preceded by JPW's own words is very interesting. The guy loves photography and photographs.

Jacob Holdt, "American Pictures". In some ways not a photography book at all, but an intense book to look at (and read ... there's a lot of text) from a Danish "vagabond" who traveled (hitchhiked) around the US for years taking photographs.

Kevin, was this the one you brought to the party? There were two books (among many) floating around that night that were pretty interesting. Matt brought one and IIRC, you brought the other.
edit: checked it out on Amazon. I don't believe this was the same book, but I'd like to see this one sometime.

Ray,
You're right -- not the same book. But I will definitely bring it along to the next BLOW-UP get together. Troubling and highly polemic, it is definitely a strong book (both photographically and politically), even if it's a bit dated in some ways.

Santa brought me Martine Franck's "One Day to the Next" yesterday. Very interesting stuff and much more sensitive than her husband's shots somehow.😉 Must be her female side.😀

My brother and sister gave me exactly what I wanted - Jacob Aue Sobol's I Tokyo. Brilliant book! I love it.

My wife gave me "In Search of Norman Rockwell's America," by Kevin Rivoli, for Christmas. A photographer's work compared to the illustrations of Norman Rockwell, proving once and for all that Norman Rockwell's America did [and does] too exist.

Lately I have been using my boss' darkroom and, among other things his Christmas, he gifted me a copy of "Processing and Printing" by Julien Busselle. It's a little basic but there's some good info in there.

In December,David Hurn's "Photograph's 1956 - 1976" and his portrait album "Living in Wales". Hurn has always been a favorite of mine, quite subtle and dedicated to his craft. His and Bill Jays "On Being A Photographer" is a must for anyone taking pictures, be it commercially or for private pleasure only.

I just finished reading Roberto Bolano's 2666. James Nachtwey's Inferno arrived for Christmas. You could call them both heavy books.
