Chris thanks for the heads-up. Will get this book.

I just finished it. It goes up to the point where he tries to go to Europe to document black fighter pilots in the US air force fighting the Nazis. Back then, the US military was segregated by race. Blacks were in separate units, while all other races in the US (whites, Hispanics, Asians, etc) were all together....only blacks were segregated. The military didn't want him photographing the black air squadrons and making heros of blacks.

He got into photography almost by accident and quickly discovered the power of photography to document the repression of blacks and poor people.

Latest read Cage Call: Louie Palu photography, text Charlie Angus

ISBN: 978-1-934334-02-7
Publisher: Photolucida
Date: 2007
format: large quarto
pages 64

This is an all BW photo book focused on the mines, mining, miners and their families in Northern Ontario and Quebec. There is a text portion with interviews about mining, smelters, unions and mining companies. The photography is typical Louie Palu.. he's won more awards in the last 10 years than most photographers do in a lifetime. For anyone interested in the life and struggles of a mining laborer this is an eloquent text. It doesn't get tougher than this.

Chris do you have an ISBN for the book? It helps, thanks Jan

Mine is an old copy, 25 years old. The edition I have was printed in 1986, so the ISBN isn't really useful now. I found the current edition on Amazon.com so you can see it there.

I think my next photobook or sort of order will be Core Curriculum by Tod Papageorge which was published recently. Seems to be an interesting read - at least I hope so.

I had this on order for a long time and it finally arrived the other day.
It contains all the familiar pieces that have been published previously like the Walker Evans/Robert Frank essay and the intro to Public Relations.
But also has several transcriptions of talks he gave at Yale on Atget, Brassai, Bresson, etc. as well as 2 or 3 interviews and a great piece on Robert Adams. About 20 pieces in all. If you've read some of his stuff and liked it, I would definitely recommend this.

Cheers,
Gary

The Papageorge is on my wish list, dare I say he is, my opinion only, a better writer than a photographer ? (and he is not a bad photographer 😉 )

Anybody know when "Arlequin" by Toshio Enomoto will be released?
Maybe members in Japan know?
That one is a definite buy for me.

"Wisdom Cries Out in the Streets" the photographs of Louis Stettner He is a street photographer.

That´s a great book!
(A similar one that I liked very much is
"The people, yes!" by Jerome Liebling.)

Core Curriculum by Tod Papageorge, who introduces his work by declaring himself "on the relatively short list of people who might have something useful to say" about photography. Had I read this in a bookstore, I might have dismissed the book as the futile exercise by a pompous pedant of the Ivy League. Having read a few of his essays, however, I can confirm that despite his juvenile penchant for the clumsy pun, Papageorge has a few intelligent things to say about the art of photography where "... there is a failure to understand how much richer in surprise and creative possibility the world is for photographers in comparison to their imagination."

Just when Colin/Aviotus bemoans the sudden move in prices of Leica cameras (and a lot of other quality cameras and lenses) the book market has now erupted.... groan. Good luck with any ideas of getting your hands on copies that are signed firsts! The book dealers will be on this like 'a buncha dogs on a bone'
