TAOP
Reading.
20th Century Photography. Taschen.
A definite dip-in book. Easy to find a photographer but difficult to research a period. Such a book, no matter how good it is, can only scratch the surface of a photographer's work. The web is such a great help, for having discovered the work of say Robert Doisneau or W. Eugene Smith, with their apparently disinterested observations of street life, one can go on to find other facets of their work.
The Photo Book. Phaidon.
Similar to the above but with fewer details.
50 Photographers You Should Know. Prestel.
Easier to follow the chronology of photography. This book got me looking at Richard Avedon and Dorothea Lange. Avedon for his insightful portraits and Lange for the way she recorded such terrible times in US history.
All three of the above books have introduced photographers and styles of photography that were unknown to me. Mr. Bing and Mr Google are both working hard.
Photography. A critical Introduction. Routledge.
Current reading. Heavy going.
Life. The First Fifty Years 1936-1986.
Been on order for three weeks from US supplier.
The Secret Code.
On order.
Within The Frame.
Bought on Kindle. Not started.
Chasing The Light.
Bought on Kindle. Not started.
Exhibitions.
Planning to attend the Jane Brown: Exposures exhibition at The Gallery, Winchester.
Will visit The Jerwood at Hastings sometime soon.
Almost completed Assignment 3.
