Always looking for some must-have books for the shelf—any suggestions?
Always amazed at the books you can find out in the wild. This signed copy of Duncan’s photographs of the Korean War was just sitting on a shelf in a thrift store. Signed in France where Duncan lived. Interestingly he was also known as one of the few photographers who got access to Picasso and his then wife.
Jungjin Lee made these photographs in Arizona, New Mexico, and Canada, between 2015 and 2016.
The desert seems to ask for a wide picture. There is so much of it — mountain, ground, sky, the long line where they meet. Lee turned the frame the other way. Her pictures are tall and narrow, and each one holds very little: a slope, a stretch of bare ground, a few plants, the place where earth ends and sky begins.
The desert does not shrink for being seen this way. Looking at a narrow piece of it, you feel more strongly how far it runs past the edge. What she left outside the frame is still out there. It goes on in the mind instead of on the paper.
This is what the title means. Not the land opened up, but an opening cut to look through.
The shape comes from somewhere. Lee brushes photographic emulsion by hand onto hanji, Korean mulberry paper, and the long vertical sheet is the shape of a hanging scroll. She studied calligraphy as a child. The two traditions agree on one thing: a few marks, and around them a blankness that is not empty.
She has said she wants to look with a vacant mind — not hunting for meaning, not naming a place before she has seen it. She is not interested in describing landscape. The desert lets her see further into herself, and what she wants is to turn the feeling of standing there into a picture.
Robert Frank, whose assistant she once was, called her work landscapes without the human beast. No one appears here. Each picture is still a portrait. It shows no face, only how a person stands before the world.
Hi! Dunno if there are many really deep-pocketed collectors here. But a couple weeks ago, I was in Black Dog Books in Zionsville, Indiana. They always have a decent selection of photobooks. I bought a copy of a Clarence John Laughlin book I'd been looking for, and got to chatting to the proprietor about photobooks.
Lo and behold, she pointed behind the counter to where she had *two* of these. Those are not the Steidl reprints, folks. Those are original, early 1950s, first American edition copies. They're in superb condition (just a bit of toning to the dust jacket, as you can see) encased in mylar covers. I was pretty gobsmacked to be able to handle one.
She said she's asking $7,500 for each. Based on what I can see online, that's probably waaaaaay out of line, certainly. But she seemed to understand that she really didn't know what they are worth, and was willing to talk about the price. So if you've got great negotiating skill and have been desperately looking for one of these, you might get in touch. They are just sitting there.
Books go out of print, reissues stall, and the one you figured you could always track down later suddenly isn't there anymore.
Got me thinking about the photobooks I've chased for years. Mine was Color Correction by Ernst Haas (Steidl) for a long time.
What's yours? The one you hunted forever, or the one you're glad you grabbed before it vanished?
I have the best photo book of the late Marc Lagrange that I am selling.
I purchased this book myself at Marc's exhibition, but unfortunately, i didnt get it signed since there were many people and he was still very much alive at the time.
For those interested about the price, i recommend checking platforms like Artsy.net or Abebooks.de first , then messaging me.
Book Title: Marc Lagrange 20
is AS NEW, no signs of use

From Shinya :
While it’s been more than twenty years since moving to Tokyo, I’ve never grown tired of how, day by day, the city fluctuates and grows. But on the other hand, it has become hard to see the embodiment of our true humanity - perhaps this loss is a consequence of our unchecked modern urban proliferation.
Years ago, while I was photographing and living among nomads in Tibet I was struck by the way in which those there live and coexist powerfully with the earth. I honed this feeling through making portraits of the people I encountered. Compared with my experiences there I felt that, as photographic subjects, through the convenience of modern life the citizens of Tokyo lacked something that those in Tibet naturally possessed.
But was this really so?
Making an effort to observe Tokyo well, one should be able to discover those living strongly with the same radiance of human nature coexisting within the city. This belief led me to begin a daily attempt to seek out with my camera those who exist and thrive within their natural, yet urban, habitat.
Indeed, ten years have passed and in my eyes the dense sprawl of Tokyo is an ecosystem with magnificent circulation.
Just a thank you to all who have followed the Instagram account @PhotoBookHaul sharing #photobbooks I’ve collected over the years and my other half’s comment ‘What? Another one!”
Latest: Fay Godwin’s trailblazing work on the British landscape and #righttoroam in the 1990s, •Our Forbidden Land”.
Looking forward to sharing more form the small library - and hopefully some swaps.
I published In Bloom in 2018 and it quickly sold out (or so I though until a found some forgotten compies in the attic by chance).
In Bloom offers a gentle glimpse into everyday life in Japan during the 2018 cherry blossom season. Rather than focusing just on the famous sakura blossoms, this collection looks at how the season quietly blends into ordinary routines—showing how life itself blooms all around us.
The zine is sequenced to feel like the passage of a single day. Moving from the crisp, quiet energy of early morning through to the late-night journey home on the train, these photographs capture the brief, familiar moments that make up the day while the world blossoms in the background.
The zine is approximately A4 in size and has 60 pages and it costs just £15. I am showing some spreads here. In the first comment I explain how to order a copy.
Thank you for your attention and support!
Just arrived on my door. I really like Rammy in general, I actually signed up for one of his upcoming classes. The book is nice, small, pretty end papers. Signed and remarked. I like how everything is in one location, it really makes me realize I don't need to have 15 cameras and travel all over trying to get great shots.
Looking for a copy for our own collection of Araki's Sentimental Journey, the 2016 facsimile reprint. Open to buy, but we got lot's of stuff available for trade as well. We're located in the Netherlands so are looking for someone in Europe to make shipping reasonable. If you got a copy and you're open to part with it, please let me know.
Found these gems in the French Quarter today. The Bellocq is a 1996 reprint of 52 glass plates made by Bellocq of prostitutes in New Orleans in 1912. Fabulous!
