Magnum contact sheets Book

More seriously, ‘Photographs 1955-2010′ John Blakemore, Andre Kertesz Jeu de Paume exhibition catalogue (Frizot/Wanaverbecq), Richard Mizrach ‘Golden Gate’, Frederic Brenner ‘Diaspora’.
Johsel Namkung – A Retrospective. Though I heard back from the publishers too late to try and persuade my husband this was a good idea! ;-(
Prompted by this list I now have
Here, far away – Pentti Sammallahti

In the realm of nature – Eliot Porter.
I also have

The new book by Chris Bell “The Tarkine”. Simply fantastic !
