Blake Andrews – Eric Kim interviews (Video)

Blake Andrews is probably the most controversial In-Public - o sorry UP Photographers - member. Eric Kim did 2 interesting long-view (// long-read) interviews with him.

Like his “move on” philosophy to making pictures, though not sure that is the best approach for every photographer.

Harry Gruyaert – Edges

Why I love this book (in mind-popping order):

Harry Gruyaert - Edges
  • The Edges book is in landscape orientation, which avoid pictures breaking over the book the fold in the middle.

  • 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).
