I’ve gone on a bit of a near end (I hope!) of Covid book buying binge as differentiated from the full blown Covid book buying binge I had a while back. I realized I had forgotten about getting some books I had long wanted and I also made some important new discoveries, care of the Internet. Beyond some obvious holes that had to be filled, I realized I needed to open the aperture beyond what I know about in general and move more beyond an American photographer-centric focus.

Newest books include those by these incredible photographers: Bill Brandt (UK), Don McCullum – two books (UK), Robert Doisneau (France) Sergio Larraine (Chile), Graciela Iturbide (Mexico), Josef Koudelka (Czechoslovakia/France), Fan Ho – three books (Hong Kong), William Klein – two books (US/France) and Carl Chiarenza (US).

If you live in the US and have focused primarily on American photographers, or haven’t ventured beyond your normal field of view, I encourage you to do some research and discover the many great photographers whose books would make an important addition to your library, provide you with inspiration, and contribute to your own photographic growth.

Stay well,

Michael
