Thank you for the reco. Sometimes I get so busy with my own work and photography I forget how important it is to learn from what’s been done. DEFINITELY going to check this out.
So…as a grad student studying to be photography historian, I adore photo books, I definitely have to check this one out!
Also, I have to recommend the Andre Kertesz catalog from the show at the Jeu de Paume last year, the show was absolutely gorgeous and I think that the book really holds up to such an emotional exhibition.
The other book that’s been on my mind is Terry Bennett’s Photography In Japan, he’s a collector whose especially interested in 19th century work and the photographs are breathtakingly beautiful. No one could do painted Albumen prints quite like the Japanese…
Lewis Hine is incredible. I studied him in depth in college-what he did for child labor laws with his camera and his eye is beyond inspiring. Thanks for posting this–haunting.

I feel in love with Lewis Hine’s photos as a teenager. They tell such a story of struggle…perhaps one notable difference between your work! :)

There’s such pain in the first photo, his eyes, etched on his face.
