At my university there is a computational psychologist who studies vision and perception of "reality". He claims in his book that evolution has hidden "reality" and we do not "see " it or rather it does not exist. Every visual artist should take a dip in Dr Hoffmans world.

Perhaps some of you would like the book.

Yesterday I received Fucase's "Ravens" Superb!

For something from way out in left field, "America 2006" by Obvious and Ordinary (John Gossage and Martin Parr). A small pamphlet issued in a limited edition of 750 copies each for the USA and Europe. It contrasts mundane photos done by Parr in garish cartoon colors with Gossage's muddy black and whites. Nothing earthshaking but kinda enjoyable to flip through every now and then.

More seriously, the retrospective "Anders Petersen". Thick book reviewing Petersen's photo anarchy. It's a matter of taste but I like it.

"Vestiges" by Koudelka. A too small accordian-type book of his panoramic photos.

"A Different Vision On Fashion Photography" by Peter Lindbergh. The more I see of Lindbergh's photos the better I like him. Too bad I didn't really pay attention until after his death last year.

Leica, A History Illustrating Every Model and Accessory. Paul-Henry van Hasbroeck, 1983. Absolutely minty, author signed, with inserted card requesting your unusual Leica. Just a teeny bit anal. Did you know that the tip of the self-timer lever on the IIId has more machined concentric circles than that of the IIIf? Do you care? Who even thought to count them?

Antanas Sutkus Planet Lithuania (Steidl). More information about Sutkus in this thread. High quality reproductions, as one would expect from Steidl. An easy recommendation for anyone who enjoys quality bw street/social documentary photography.

"Ernst Haas: New York in Color, 1952-1962".

Just buy this book. You'll never regret it.

New to me: "Ciprian Honey Cathedral" by Raymond Meeks. My favorite book of 2020. Of course I haven't seen them all.

Also, "The Map and the Territory" by Luigi Ghirri, and Alan Huck's "I Walk Toward The Sun Which Is Always Going Down".

Goldberg, Jim "Fingerprint." Stanely Barker Publication.Mrch 1st, 2021 ISBN 1913288188 p.90

Baltamore Photspace currently has it for about half the price of Amazon (Staneley Barker is a UK publisher). I suspect that either place you buy it from is gonna be a 2nd edition (according to the Stanley Barker webside they sold out of the 1st edition after the first 5 days of release).

I just bought the most expensive book I have ever bought up to this point.

Pittsburgh 1950 by Elliott Erwitt.

I got the special edition with a signed print which explains the high price, but I figured this would be my only chance to afford a signed silver gelatine print by this soon to be 93 years old master.

A few weeks ago I ordered "9289" by our RFF friend Andrea Taurisano.

It's a visual diary of a Trans-Siberian journey Andrea made. The photos are in a strong B&W, gritty and grainy as oft in Andrea's style. A style that I find appropriate for travel notes, for a visual diary.

Love it, even more after many months without leaving my town (due to covid restrictions) and with a strong desire to travel anywhere. Even if only in imagination turning the pages of this book.

Higly suggested to all the lovers of travels and B&W rough film photography.
