The Library List

Mark_H Posted 17 years ago
Update: (first off, yes, hello, I'm still alive. I've had this in mind to do for some time. I used NotebookLM and ChatGPT to update this list.)

HCSP members have combined their knowledge to produce a list of books that either showcase street photography or would be interesting/useful to street photographers.

Take a copy of this list with you next time you visit your local library, and if you find a book on the list, let us know on this thread which one it was and what you thought of it.

(Once your suggestion has been added to the list, please delete your comments to keep the list tidy.)

Martin Parr's London photo bookshops:

"There are these very few specialist bookshops, but in London I recommend Mike Wells (in Camden), The Photographers' Gallery, Clare (sic) de Rouen, Photobooks International and Donlon Books."

Anyone know the address, etc. of "Mike Wells (in Camden)"?

Found nowt on Google...

Paul, maybe this is him (find the Mike Wells...):- www.allthegalleries.com/dealers/books.html ?

Just spoken to him and he sounds very knowledgable. Doesn't have an online presence, but has thousands of photo books in stock. Worth a call if you're after something rare.

Yeah, she should be here - can recommend her "Exposure" which is a nicely printed and comprehensive retrospective (2005) from Phaidon. Still available from Amazon.

amazon.com has a pre-order page for William Kliens "Life is Good and Good For You in New York". Feb 28 seems to be the release date. It's good to finally see this classic back in print again.

Got a copy of Wonderland by Jason Eskenazi excellent throughout. Superb black and white from Russia and a some great shots from Chechnya.

Southend library has a really good selection of photography books, although they tend to go with "Best of" retrospectives rather than specific "essays". I found myself getting lost in a huge Eggleston compendium (title forgotten, but I'll check next time). It must have had 200 full page photos in it. Absolutely marvellous.
There are also about 10 Martin Parr books there, but a review isn't really necessary, as you know what to expect. My favourites are the ones with captions in the form of quotes from the subjects (or owners of them). Books like "Signs of the Times" are modern tragi-comedies about "bad" taste. It's rare for a photobook to make me laugh out loud (in a library especially), but some of Parr's work does that.

I'd ordered "Black Sea" ("Schwarzes Meer") a few days ago, just waiting for delivery; also ordered "Photography after Frank". Anyone read this?

I manged to see at the Side Gallery, Newcastle the exhibition of Black Sea and Sweet Nothings. I like the simplicity and repetition of the portraits, but Black Sea is a fantastic series.

It's not street per se, but it's a damn good book for the many excellent images it contains (most I'd not seen before) and it's cheap! Got mine for JPY1,890 or roughly US$20.

This is "Kodachrome: The American Invention of our World" by Els Rijper. Review here. For Kodakchome fans, you'll love this book.

George Georgiou- "Fault Lines: Turkey East West"

My only reservation is that some (many?) of the pictures are printed over a double page spread and that annoys me looking at a photo with a page seam in the middle. Nice book none the less.

"The New Color Photography" by Sally Eauclaire.

This book is an academic discussion of the subject and is essential reading for those with a particular interest in the history of photography and color photography in particular. The book also contains many fine but familiar examples from the 1970's with works by Shore, Meyerowitz and Eggleston.
Zisis Kardianos Posted 15 years ago
About the book suggested above, I must say that an 1981 book is not that new any more.
Shore, Meyerowitz etc though pionners in their time can hardly represent the new color photography nowdays.
Nevertheless thanks for the tip.

I'm really curious to see the new Stephen Shore book of small-format work from the 70s, 'Transparencies'. Part of me sometimes feels it's redundant to keep going back to the same old periods and the same old photographers; on the other hand Shore was so influential that unseen work from such a creative period is compelling just by nature.
