Mark Power – Superstructure
In the book Superstructure Mark Power has assembled the pictures he made during the building of the Millennium Dome in Greenwich near London.
It was for sale last week. A bargain, 25 pound.

Harry Gruyaert – Edges
Why I love this book (in mind-popping order):
- The Edges book is in landscape orientation, which avoid pictures breaking over the book the fold in the middle.
- Harry Gruyaert takes pictures that many consider boring.
- Grainy-ness is a great feature.
- Gruyaert does not shy away from taking pictures from a distance - versus close Robert Capa quote (mis)interpretation "a picture is not good enough if it is not close".
- The colors.
- The broccoli picture.
- Simplicity (deceptive).
Awoiska van der Molen
Dutch photographer Awoiska van der Molen.
Awoiska van der Molen makes mostly black-and-white landscape photographs of seemingly deserted places, and that seem to express isolation and timelessness. The pictures are distant yet intimate through an almost formalistic play with light.
