1) If santa would be so nice as to drop the new edition of an american classic; American Prospects
by Joel Sternfeld, republished this year by STEIDL Germany, into my stocking. I would like to own a
better printed and bound copy of my favorite book.
2) I return I would give the biography of Bill Brandt by Paul Delany to a photographer friend.
This is a very intresting book about this great "british" photographer and his misterious life.
I want "Life Work," the new Edward Weston book by Lodima Press.
I would GIVE Weston's "Daybooks" to any photographer. Or Michael Smith's and Paula Chamlee's "Tuscany: Wandering the Back Roads" books.
Oh, I dunno... maybe an original run of Stieglitz' "Camera Work" would do...
"I love my Verito lens, but I always have to sharpen everything in Photoshop..."
Oh Lord, the lust, the lust....
Here are my answers:
     1) Frederick Sommer, 1939-1962 Photographs
     2) Bas Princen, Artificial Arcadia
Keep 'em coming.
Double Exposure Volume I would be a great gift. Text printed in letterpress and photographic works entirely dedicated to historical processes.
Paula Chanlee's "Tuscany" Special Edition with an original 5x7 print of plate #16.
Wilhelm (Sarasota)
Basilico's "Porti di mare".
