I know we've talked about books before, but I need some ideas for gifting...
Stephen Shore's "Uncommon Places" is my go to book...
What's your favorite?

Hiya Becky.....!!
I have a few. In no particular order of preference:
Shinan - Michael Kenna
Faces of the North - Ragnar Axelsson
Behind the Mountains - Ragnar Axelsson
Iconic Images - Steve McCurry
Here Far Away - Pentti Sammallahti
Route 66 - Shannon Richardson
If I had to choose but one, it would be "Shinan" but I would love to get my hands on "Faces of the North" as well....
-
I'm not really much of a photo book reader/viewer/collector, but I've read good things about Magnum Contact Sheets, so I've got that on my list.
-
Hi Paul!
Thanks for the list.
The Shannon Richardson-Route 66 book is fun!

Wishing you and Lara the best!

I planned to have RAX's Behind the Mountains under the tree (I won't put it there since it is already unpacked), but then i stumbled upon a new copy of 1st ed. Japan by Kenna for a great price and couldn't resist... Looks like merry christmas indeed.
PS: Nice list, Paul, I'd defitinely push the Penti Sammalahti's book somewhere to the first places of the list - FANTASTIC book, one that I come back to very often... Beautiful images and a very well crafted book.
-
Mr Rax is going to have a good Festive season too; He's on my list too.

for me; anything inta ruka or sune jonsson :)

Frank Hurley's Antartica.
-
I`m keeping my fingers crossed for Lars Tunbjörk "I love borås" under the tree.
Being realistic I also have a back up, Anders Petersen “Cafe Lemitz” :)
-
Oh, and the Vivian Maier: Street Photographer....
-
Only one photo book on my list this year:
Small English Shops by Nigel Rumsey

50 shades of grey - It's about film developing I think
(sorry, really really sorry, couldn't help myself)

Try 50 Sheds of Grey. I think it's about darkrooms.

I already have mine!
I met up with my good friends Tony & Eva Worobiec at the weekend. About 10 years ago they published a book called 'Ghosts in the Wilderness - Abandoned America' which is now sadly out of print otherwise I would have had a copy adorning my bookshelf. They had a call from their publisher a few weeks ago saying that they had found a few copies languishing in their archives and would they like them. After a bit of haggling I am now the proud owner of a brand new copy! For those who are not aware of this book I urge you to seek out a copy as it is a seminal piece of work that is becoming more collectable as every year passes.

I've taken your advice. I don't know Tony or Eva but I've seen some of their work previously. Given that we've recently returned from Route 66 and have a desire to return to explore some of the lesser known "abandoned" places in the USA, this should be a great read.
You weren't kidding about the prices!! I've gone for a "very good" option off Amazon that's being shipped in from USA - hopefully some time between 20th December 2013 and mid-January 2014.
Paul.

Hi Becky,
I don't have any photo gear or books on the list this year, but these three have been read more than the others in '13. I might have added the recent Vivian Meier too, but really these three are it.

We have a one gift from all the family thing going on, so I'm hoping for Yann Arthus-Bertrand's Earth from Space, and I've been a good boy (in the main) ;)

I'm hoping for the "here far away" one. It was sugessted earlier and it fits my state of mind in photography right now. Thanks!

well I purchased my Christmas present (to me) book today
the Stephen Bulger Gallery, here in Toronto, was having their 50% off sale this week so I went to browse
purchased Bruce Davidson's "England & Scotland 1960"
what a wonderful book, what a wonderful photographer
street photography has certainly changed since those days
-
Woo-hoooo!! Managed to get a pristine, new and shrunk wrapped hardback copy of "Here Far Away" for £27 including postage. Absolutely delighted.

Congrats, Paul. It's a beautiful book - and your's was a steal. I bought an italian edition for even less a few months back,but it was then a quarter of the price of the few remaining english exanokes from the first printing.
