It needs to be said: every single one of these photography books should also be available in digital ebook format. This would make them far more easily accessible and affordable, opening them to a far wider audience at a fraction of the cost.

Good point!

So nice to see Saul Leiter's work appreciated. I got into analog photography after seeing his stuff and am constantly inspired to experiment with composition

That's quite a bit different from just quickly flipping through them, which I think would make Frank quite unhappy. I expect he'd like us to keep moving from image to image, but slowly and contemplatively, savoring both the individual images and their relationships to those that precede and follow them.

Thank you! Very inspiring. 👍

Nice! ❤

Really interesting video, thanks. Please excuse this little plug, but I’d like to recommend an autobiographical photography-related book called Life Lit Up, by a friend of mine called Mike Hartley. I found it very entertaining and incisive regarding how different kinds of photographers approach the craft.

Thx, me too :)

about "The Americans"... but as a narrative, you're supposed to flip through the book as a narrative from first picture to last, not from back to front as you did.

Haha, yeah true. 😂 I just wanted to give the viewer a glimpse into it.

I don't know where you get this incorrect notion that you're supposed to flip through Frank's photos. What he said was that he wanted his images to be like poems that make you linger and make you want to return to for yet another reading.

This was explained in a documentary about him, where his first publisher was talking about how The Americans was conceptualized. The idea was for a photo book that worked like a movie. With each image imprinting onto the next.
