It's a slow weekend here; family away, a nasty nor'easter overnight that left some snow that I don't feel like shoveling, so I'm going to do a Kevin (papercut) who posts several reviews at once. Sorry about the long post.
Bystander: A History of Street Photography by Colin Westerbeck & Joel Meyerowitz. Little, Brown & Co., New York. ISBN 0-8212-1755-0. This book has been on my WTB list for years and I recently happened on a pristine first edition hardback copy. It's a very well known social and cultural history of the genre with both essays and pictures, but it also reveals much about the craft and vision of the greats. It was well worth waiting for.
Andre Kertesz The Polaroids by Robert Gurbo. W. W. Norton & Company, New York 2007, ISBN 978-0393065640. This beautiful little book has an excellent introduction by Robert Gurbo, the curator of Kertesz's estate. The photographs are both heartrending and inspirational; a collection of color Polaroids shot after his beloved wife Elizabeth died. Most of them are about Elizabeth and his love for her and were taken at or near the window of his NYC apartment, juxtaposing small glass figurines against the background of the city and using the angled light from the window. It sounds very mundane but when you view these little pictures you realize that Kertesz really was a genius fully deserving of his place in the pantheon; they're incredibly expressive. This little book is just a gem.
Andre Kertesz by Michel Frizot and Annie-Laure Wanaverbecq. Editions Hazan/Editions du Jeu de Paume, Paris 2010. ISBN 978-2754104784. Staying with Kertesz this is the catalog of the "Andre Kertesz" exhibit originally at the Jeu de Paume, Paris and currently showing at the Magyar Nemzeti Muzeum, Budapest until December 31, 2011. This is a major retrospective of an extremely influential photographer who was marginalized for most of his productive life. The photographs and accompanying documentation are roughly organized around his time in Budapest, Paris and New York. Each set of chapters contains interesting historical notes and archival contextual material that set the images in their time and there are a number of vintage prints and magazine reprints as well. This beautiful book is printed by Grafiche Flaminia of Foligno, Italy; the reproductions are of the highest quality. If you need to make a choice between The Polaroids and this catalog get this book as there are excellent reproductions of some of his polaroids on pp 319-321 here. The book is a must-have and if you are in Budapest before the end of the year the exhibit is a must-see.
Peru by Robert Frank. Steidl, Gottingen, 2008. ISBN 978-3865216922. Published in association with the National Gallery of Art, Washington, this book is a series of documentary pictures taken with his Leica and a wide-angle lens; they are up-close and personal. The pictures show faces and vistas and the framing and compositions make you feel like you're there. Frank shows a willingness to crop too which is really refreshing.
Triptychs by Milton Rogovin. W. W. Norton & Company, New York 1994, ISBN 978-0393035889. Milton Rogovin was a documentary photographer who focused on people he called "the forgotten ones". He was a wonderful man and a terrific photographer, and this book is a compilation of pictures he took of individuals and families in and around 1974, again in 1984, and finally in 1992. All the pictures were taken in the six block Lower West Side of Buffalo, NY which was a poor, ethnically diverse neighborhood made up of Puerto Ricans, African Americans, Native Americans, and whites. This longitudinal project is a really great example of documentary photography; many of the pictures are unremarkable but it is fascinating to witness the change in these people. Many of them clearly like Rogovin and this book is as much about him as it is about them. I was lucky enough to pick up a signed first edition that includes a print of one of the triptychs. Rogovin died in January at the age of 101. A life well lived.
American Power by Mitch Epstein. Steidl, Gottingen, 2009. ISBN 978-3865219244. I went to Mitch Epstein's studio in Berlin a good while back at a gallery showing he held there of his progress in this work. To be honest I was a bit underwhelmed by some of the massive pictures on display, but now in retrospect I think on that particular night he presented something of a random collection that didn't hold together nearly half as well as this book does. The book is about power; nuclear, coal, wind, electrical, solar and otherwise. However it is about the politics of power too, both in a visual sense and also surprisingly in the comments Epstein makes in his notes at the end of the book. The photographs are presumably taken with a large-format camera and are well reproduced as you would expect from Steidl.

I went on a bit of a Walker Evans bender this year and having been given Many are Called I got Lyric Documentary, Steidl, Gottingen, 2006 ISBN 978-3865210227 and Walker Evans at Work, Harper & Row, New York, ISBN 0-06-011104-6. Lyric Documentary is quite incredible as it contains just over a year of Evans' work; between June of 1935 and August of 1936 when he traveled for the Farm Security Administration documenting the effects of the Great Depression. He mostly used an 8x10 and briefly a 4x5 and 35mm and these are powerful photographs rich in detail. The pictures are presented in more-or-less the chronological order in which they were taken.
What is so interesting about Walker Evans at Work is that it also has a lot of chronological pictures, but the purpose of this book is to show how Evans got to a final image through trial and error. If you like contact sheets you'll love this book, as it shows him working around a subject, changing light, changing lenses and even using different cameras as he searched for the visual effect he had in his mind. There are all sorts of notes interspersed with the pictures on his thoughts, insurance for his gear, advice, proposals and brief transcripts of interviews. A most unusual book that I like a lot.
Last Days of the Arctic by Ragnar Axelsson. Crymogea, Reykjavik, 2010. ISBN 978-0955525520. The pictures in this book were taken by Axelsson between 1987 and 2010, and they are wonderful. This is a world unlike anything I've seen (apart from his first book Faces of the North) and Axelsson is very connected to it and its people; the Inuit of Greenland and Canada. He clearly has enormous understanding and respect for the Inuit and their way of life, the landscapes are stunning, his portraits of the dogs and people in the context of the ice are in the finest traditions of documentary photography. There are a few notes interspersed among the pictures, in one Axelsson describes the land as both terrifying and sublime, but it is a land that is slowly shrinking as global warming advances. This is a beautiful book about a culture and a way of like that may not last much longer.
Ordinary Lives by Rania Matar. Quantuck Lane Press, New York, 2009. ISBN 978-1593720377. This book is mostly about the women and children of Lebanon after the conflict that has wracked that country in the last decade. It's very well observed and shot, but I don't really like the way the editors arranged the page layouts; there's too much cropping with subsequent missing context. There is no doubt though that Matar has captured some very haunting moments. I met her last weekend and she uses a Leica and a couple of wide-angle lenses and uses them very well. Matar is Lebanese and is at one with her culture and it shows in this book; there are wry shots of the juxtaposition of Christian and Moslem women and their different cultures alongside the bleak pictures of camp life. It's outstanding documentary work.
If I went on an Evans bender I also went on a Mexican binge this year. First is Frida Kahlo Her Photos by James Oles, Horacio Fernandez, Pablo Ortiz Monasterio & Frida Kahlo. Editorial RM, Mexico City 2010, ISBN 978-8492480753. This book contains 401 pictures from the over six thousand photographs in Frida Kahlo's private collection. She was always connected with photography as her German-born father Guillermo Kahlo was a very successful professional photographer. Chapter 2 of the book is about her father and is profusely illustrated with Guillermo's self portraits, a form of expression that Frida would adopt for herself and become famous for. To read this book gives you some insight into the mind of this extraordinary woman, and the familial, cultural, political and medical experiences and influences that shaped her thinking. She altered many of the pictures by planting lipstick kisses both on the front and verso, she would cut them up or add colors or write her thoughts on them. Many of them became artistic objects rather than just photographs. Her mind was clearly restless given the range of topics reproduced here, and it's also obvious that she replicated some photographic content in her brilliant paintings. If you're a Frida Kahlo fan the book is fascinating and is beautifully printed in China by Asia Pacific Offset of Hong Kong.
Last are two books by Graciela Iturbide, student of and assistant to the great Manuel Alvarez Bravo; Images of the Spirit, Aperture, New York 1996. ISBN 0-89381-681-7 and Eyes to Fly With, University of Texas Press, Austin 2006. ISBN 978-0292714625. There is some cross-over of content between these two books but they are both excellent examples of Mexican themes of indigenous mythology, dreams, and the meaning of life and death. Interestingly, like Frida Kahlo, Iturbide is fond of self portraits and also rejected the bourgeois salon society values of her class in favor of the indigenous culture of Juchitan and Oaxaca. Images of the Spirit is mostly about Mexico, Eyes to Fly With has the feel of a retrospective and has a wider subject matter including several portraits from Europe and work from India. I preferred Images of the Spirit; the book contains many surrealistic and disturbing images that are beautifully reproduced in China by the printer Sing Cheong of Hong Kong.

I would assume the negs were rescanned. Colors and skin tones in the setting of the sublime lighting and dark shadows are unbeatable.

Magnum Contact Sheets Edited by Kristen Lubben. Norton & Co., a Thames & Hudson book, New York, 2011. ISBN 978-0-500-54399-3. As soon as this huge book arrived in the mail yesterday I sat down and started leafing through it. So many famous photographs in it, so riveting to see the pictures around the "chosen one" on the contact sheet, so interesting to read the photographer's words or the descriptions of the series.
The book is organized chronologically by year, the first chapter covering 1930-1949. The following six chapters cover a decade each; from 1950-1959 through 2000-2010. There are too many gems in the book to detail but a few stand out for me at first glance; Gilles Peress' coverage of Bloody Sunday in Derry in late January 1972 at the height of the Troubles, with frames of Bernadette Devlin, the civil rights parade, and unarmed civilians being shot dead by the troops. I was living in Dublin at that very fraught time and it's incredible to see the context around the pictures that were published in the Sunday Times.
Another one is a particular favorite of mine; Josef Koudelka's amazing 617 panoramic shot of the wall of a new harbor in Calais. The whole roll of 120 film is there, just four shots of course but just so interesting to see the four different views he had of the wall, and there's a very good reproduction of the final print on pp 336-337.
Also Mark Powers' Shipping Forecast which I didn't even know existed! It brought back memories of "Dogger, German Bight good, becoming moderate or poor with fog patches" on the Beeb when I was a boy.
I'm sure everyone who picks this book up will find something in it that has touched their lives, a tribute to the reach of Magnum over the last seventy years. The only criticism I have of the book so far is that some of the contacts are very small and to be honest, not that useful. The book is very big and most contacts are well reproduced though. It's well printed by Pacom in South Korea.
Magnum are clearly into making money on their archives. Once your appetite is whetted by the book, you'll be able to buy individually printed and numbered contact sheets by a particular photographer embossed by Magnum and hand stamped with the photographer's copyright on the verso. They're all nicely packaged in a presentation case. Roughly about $500 per...

I've got a question: I'm planing on ordering Davidson's Subway and I see two 2011 editions listed - one Aperture in English and one Steidl in... French?
They cost the same but I'm accustomed to very nice quality of Steidl... but is it really in French? If anyone can comment on these two editions I'd appreciate it.
Not nitpicking, just appreciate fine quality books
edit: as far as latest additions, got "Where Children Sleep" by James Mollison (the link speaks for itself) and lucked out on Pelligrin's "Flight of Reason" (Kosovo) for a normal price, waiting for this one and curious, love his docu work.

Aperture is the distributor of the Steidl book in the USA (according to Steidl's website) so, the same book, I think.

Yup. From the Steidl website: "Originally published in 1986, this updated Steidl edition of Subway is printed from new scans of Davidson’s Kodachrome slides and features additional images."

I've only seen the images from Subway online. The second hand copies of earlier editions were just too expensive.

Just ordered From Polaroid to Impossible: Masterpieces of Instant Photography, The WestLicht Collection (ISBN 978-3775732215), $37.80. I already have The Polaroid Book: Selections from the Polaroid Collections of Photography (Taschen's 25th Anniversary Special Editions), 978-3836501897, which I can recommend, so it will be interesting to compare the two. I'll post an opinion when it arrives.

Just bought Josef Koudelka's photofile and Rama Surya's Bali Living in Two Worlds.
The photofile kinda surprised me because although it is small (almost like 5x7 printsize) the quality of the printing is great. It also have all the photo I loved in his books that I have to see in the library before owning this book (Gypsies and Exiles). Now I kinda drooling for all of the other photofile series.

"Magnum Contact Sheets" is getting adverse comments for the binding quality, several reports of the weight causing a parting of the ways. Amazon.com have suspended shipping ? this problem. Amazon.co.uk and France and Canada are shipping, I gave up then. Mine is shipping with fingers crossed for a safe arrival then at least I know to take care reading. At the UK price it appears to be excellent value.

This seems to be a trend, Salgado is doing similar: "The best images from each trip, around 100, are chosen and a physical negative is created by the Dupon photo lab in Paris. They are then printed on 30x40cm silver paper and checked again, with a further negative being produced if necessary."
