Excellent resource, this thread.

Two more of the same theme:

- Russia: Beyond Utopia - Andrew Moore
- Kosmos: A Portrait of the Russian Space Age - Adam Bartos

I also really like Rob Hornstra's 101 Billionaires and Simon Robert's Motherland. Great colour work.

I'll have to look into this.

This sort of continues my personal belief that personal projects/work usually require a very long period of time (this case was a decade) to accomplish.

I'm not saying one can't do a "quick" project but the process, I believe, should take time and the artist, they must be patient. Given time and patience (and of course skill and a bit of luck) one can hopefully produce brilliance.

Cheers and thanks for the link Ray,

for reference, and not to imply i am of the same stock as the above mentioned, in 1 full year of work on a book project i have 5 frames i would call "keepers". year two begins tomorrow at 4 a.m.
 
Looks really interesting!

Salgado's projects are all very long-term and many photographers produce their best work when truly immersed for long periods. In fact I think many of the best photo essays fall into this category.

With the same qualification that John makes, I started a project with a youth orchestra five years ago. I worked at it for three years, then took the last two years off. I have maybe 10 keepers. I'm planning on returning to the project in the fall and expect to be working at it for several years.
 
This is weird,
if a photo-book can have a theme song, there's this melancholic song "Wonderland" by Simply Red that would fit this book perfectly.

Lyrics:

Words and music Mick Hucknall

People, places
Pursuing the chases
Our moments were chosen
Her senses, explosion

Take your pulse and read it well
She never said you'd only get one chance
Pay your debt and bleed as well
You're living in the same circumstances

The end of an era
Our future no clearer
My people no stronger
The blame I lay on her

Wonderland, Wonderland
It's beautiful
Wonderland, wonderland
It's beautiful

Take your pulse and read it well
She never said you'd only get one chance
Pay your debt and bleed as well
You're living in the same circumstances

The end of an era
My future no clearer
Our people no stronger
The blame I lay on her

Wonderland, wonderland
It's beautiful
Wonderland, wonderland
It's beautiful

Fading away, fading away until tomorrow comes
To haunt us all
It's coming again, it's gonna pick up on you
And haunt you always

Wonderland wonderland
