'Love', written by Ferdinand Protzman and published by National Geographic shows a large collection of photographs quite simply showing love. Featuring work by Henri Cartier-Bresson, Martin Parr, Josef Koudelka and Robert Doisneau among many others, it is a wonderfully inspiring book.
"The family and friends in our photographs may die, move away, or become estranged from us, but in that moment when the camera's mechanical eye blinked they embodies a kind of love. It may not have endured but it existed."
What a lovely quote from the book. I must take more photos of those I love.
'Wanderlust, 30 Postcards from America' was a fantastic find. 30 postcards with images by Troy M. Litten of the wonderful side of America. One card contains 15 small images of Motel signs, another a worn down diner table, and another quite simply shows greasy fast food. This hasn't only made my desire to travel America snapping as I go much stronger, but it's also made me very very happy as it's another 30 postcards to add to my postcard collection.
The 3rd book I haven't actually looked at yet. 'Colour Photography' by Pameal Roberts. As with every general photography book I buy I hope it introduces me to photographers I'd never heard of before and inspires me in my work.
I'm now away to start my research for 'Photography in the Magic Hour'. My first set brief from block 2 in Uni.
