Photography Books: Tuesday Blog


I've been thinking about the way people enjoy photographs. So many people experience images fleetingly and on screen. I wonder if they miss out of one of the most important qualities of personal photographs - their evocative nature.

I have come to love photography books as one of the most intimate and accessible ways to experience photographs. Books allow the story telling aspect of photographs to unfold. They allow the series or succession of images to be presented as such, often creating a visual crescendo.

Most of us have many, many photographs and don't have enough space to display them. A gorgeous coffee table book is just the ticket.
