Just looking at these representative images from the various books made me think how so much photography looks the same these days. Medium or large format color and everything seems to be about irony. Somehow Josef Koudelka’s black and white work just never gets old for me. And I am trying to figure out exactly why that is. Photographic trends may have moved on, but I simply am not moved by so much being published today.
Great list! All added to my amazon WL
