The Command To Look and Monsters and Madonnas by Mortensen.
“You often feel tired, not because you've done too much, but because you've done too little of what sparks a light in you.”
― Alexander Den Heijer, Nothing You Don't Already Know
Summit/Vittorio Sella/Mountaineer and Photographer/The Years 1879-1909, Aperture.
Many here are probably already familiar with Sella and his work but Sella is a new discovery for me. A truly inspiring and uplifting photographer regardless of whether or not "mountain photography" is your cup of tea. The quality of the reproduced images are astounding notwithstanding that they were taken in the late 19th century and reproduced by Aperature with the printing technology of the late 1990's.
If mountain photography and travelis your cup of tea, then you may also like Round Kangchenjunga by Douglas Freshfield, 1903, and a free download at http://archive.org/details/roundkangchenjun00fresrich
