I'd like to see all of your photobook collections. Do you have a stack in a corner? Or are they sprawled on the coffee table? In your lab?

try it with a lime posted:

Why People Photograph by Robert Adams

Buy this loving book.

I got a copy for a dollar at used book sale and I managed to tear through the entire thing in one sitting. I've read and enjoyed excerpts from his essays on ASX in the past, but I never expected for thoughts I've had ruminating in my mind about photography to be defined so well and given such clear voice. I cannot emphasize this enough, if you enjoy or agonize thinking about your photography, buy this book now.

Read through it, it was great. I need to find more like it.
One thing did bug me about it though. It was his prose, or grammar or what have you. He keeps interjecting "in my opinion", "it seems to me", and its variants, and it just feels super unnecessary. We know it's his opinion, he wrote the book.

But yea, good book in all other respects.

What happened to the zine exchange ting that was about to go down?

Where do you find second hand photobooks?

For some reason I never thought to check those sites. I wonder if the second hand photo book market is super niche.
Time to dive into the net and see what I can find.

I'd like a copy actually.
$4 for 50 copies is nothing! I'm gonna do the same. $4 per copy is still not bad.

PS. The title font (and the capitalised letters font) is really bad.

We should create a Dorkroom zine in all honesty.

Ps yes if you have a zine you should be posting it
