magnum

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).
