The last book by Jack Dykinga "Arizona" is superb. How could the author find so many flowers in Arizona ? ;-);-);-)

For those who prefer technical things to nice flowers and red rocks, the book "Way beyond Monochrome" is a suuperb technical reference on B&W printing.

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.

[Mike Lopez]

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.

[Mark Sawyer]

Oh, I dunno... maybe an original run of Stieglitz' "Camera Work" would do...

[Struan Gray]

Oh Lord, the lust, the lust....

Here are my answers:

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp 1) Frederick Sommer, 1939-1962 Photographs

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp 2) Bas Princen, Artificial Arcadia

Keep 'em coming.

[Chad Jarvis]

Double Exposure Volume I would be a great gift. Text printed in letterpress and photographic works entirely dedicated to historical processes.
