Arbus Aperture monograph. Have wanted this for a long time.
An Emergency in Slow Motion, the inner life of Diane Arbus

Paris Mon Amour (Gautrand/Taschen). A really nice compilation of Paris photos from past to present by many famous photographers. Very good reproduction quality and size for such an inexpensive volume.

I've been eyeing Jason Lee's book recently. You like it?
Click to expand...

to be honest I felt a little underwhelmed, perhaps because I'm not a big polaroid/instax wide fan.
Itis a nice big 10x12 book with lots of photos, Jason has a great eye for urbanscape, but not a big fan of how they printed the photos, basically they retained the life size of the prints so there's a lot of white spaces on a lot of pages.
he did shoot some instant 8x10 but they are very few, most were polaroid and instax wide.
 
Lee Friedlander's "Western Landscapes". Classic landscape photography meets Friedlander's unique vision, beautifully reproduced. One of the best books of 2016 (in my opinion).
 
The two shown in the back were among Christmas gifts given to me.

"It's what I do: A Photographer's Life of Love and War" - Lynsey Addario
and
"Camera: A history of photography from Daguerreotype to Digital"

Turns out both were suggestions off PopPhoto's 100 gift ideas to give photographers.

It'll go into my library alongside books like "Fragile" Buffet, and "Alfred Stieglitz: Photographs & Writings" (the 1999 Kodak reprint edition), and "Stieglitz: Camera Work" (Taschen published)

(The sailor moon stuff seems to be a running theme for the last two or three christmases from my brothers).
 
Hi Talus,
You mentioned you "recently bought ... Salgado's Workers". I've been looking for a reasonably priced copy of that book for a long time.

Would you mind telling us where you found it?
 
Jim Marshall " The Haight".
Lots of previously unpublished photos and an informative text about the history/scene by Joel Selvin.

" For fifty dollars down and twelve twenty -four - dollar monthly payments ,Marshall bought his first Leica in 1959. He never considered another profession "

Hard to keep up with him these days. He has put out a lot of books in the last couple years. I do love his landscapes!

Such a good book. I assume you got the new version as well? I was talking to him on the phone the other day and he was saying how much more he liked this edit than the original copy.

When he's in town. He signed my copy of Belgrade for me. I have A Wah Do Dem and It's All Good but I didn't get a chance to hang before he left back to Europe/Asia to work on some projects.
