i'm sorry - what are you talking about???
What's the plan, what do you want to do with these books?

 

[Pherdinand]

By the way, "the otyher thread" link leads to an "invalid thread" error.

 

[ghost]

fixed the link. you must have missed the thread where people nominated books.

after we vote, order the book(s) chosen if you want to. we'll discuss it throughout august.

 

[Pherdinand]

i see. thanks.

 

[ghost]

keep the ball rolling.

voted for:
william eggleston's guide - william eggleston
-Because it is so different from what I do I think it would be refreshing to study.

 

[Rafael]

I voted for the Eye of Eisenstaedt because of the incredible range of subjects and subject matters that Eisenstaedt shot. I think that the book would provide for some very interesting discussions here.

 

[ghost]

any other takers?

 

[ghost]

you think a week might be too long for voting? how about we cut if off now?

 

[Rafael]

Sounds good. So we would be reading Eggleston then?
