The Sartorialist

Interesting little book in the area of street fashion photography. Don't know if would be of much interest to the average tog. I get most of my books from the library, so it is no big deal for me. Was worth a flip through anyway. Some very creative fashion devotees out there. (I'm not one of them!)

Highly rec book on this topic.

Amazon.com: Self-Portrait Photography: The Ultimate in Personal Expression (9781600597855): Natalie Dybisz: Books

Very creative and inspirational book. (Also does not hurt that the gal is pretty and young that is in the pix!)

Annie Leibovitz at Work

An 'OK' book. Behind the scene stories of her career. Mostly words and a few pix thrown in.

I look at the pix on the cover and think...I'm glad I am a down and dirty street tog. (Or at least used to be) Look at all the crap the poor togs have to lug round and set up to make a $. Would take all the joy out of pix taking for me.

Unless your in luv with Annie...get the book from the library.

The Polaroid Book: Selections from the Polaroid Collections of Photography (Taschen's 25th Anniversary Special Editions

http://www.amazon.com/The-Polaroid-Book-Collections-Photography/dp/383650189...schen+polaroid

Very enjoyable book by Taschen. Taschen has a long line of art and tog books. Used to be cheap, not so any more. But this Polaroid is a bargan book. Rec you buy it and not just a library checkout. Work from artists as well as togs. Includes a history and dateline for polaroids cams in the back

Book : Bruce Davidson - Outside Inside

If you a fan, well worth the $$

http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/386521908X/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&condition=used

Look for it in the $150-$160 range. Plenty of overpriced sets on ebay.

DVD series Art:21


http://www.amazon.com/Art-21st-Century-Seasons-One/dp/B0000TPAQA/ref=pd_cp_mov_0

They had a segment on Sally Mann in Vol 1. Lots of photography mixed in as tools artists use. One lady artist made a pinhole cam and puts it in her mouth to take pix. The pix look like it is taken from an eye as her lips mimic the shape of an eye. Great series to expand your vision.

Good movie about Woodman her life and times.

Amazon.com: The Woodmans: Francesca Woodman, Betty Woodman, George Woodman, Charlie Woodman, C. Scott Willis: Movies & TV

Francesca Woodman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Check library for some of her books.

Reminds me of how it goes with many an artist. They struggle along until they die and then their work explodes.
