Another vote for Ravillious. Wonderful pictures (and reasonably priced prints availble from the Beaford Archive). Look also at book of Edwin Smith's pictures. He was my inspiration from the moemnt I first came across them in the 1980's.

Sebastiao Salgado recently wrote a short kind-of-biographical book, "From my land to the planet" about how he started on photography and how he shot for his well-known picture books. It is centered on his attachment to the environment and people. I found it quite interesting.
I also like a much less serious book from the 1960s, "Mit der kamera auf du" (Living with a camera) by Spoerl. A good read with wonderful cartoons. |

'The History of Photography' and 'Essays and Images' both by Beaumont Newhall, both should be on your book case. Happy hunting.

One article I read was that his films were developed in diluted D-76, the Book "An English Eye" mentions dilute Perceptol and now you have mentioned your father's two-bath developer, it gets rather confusing as to which film process he actually settled on. |

A new book by Geoff Dyer has just been published - See/Saw: Looking at Photographs by Geoff Dyer - and it is reviewed by the Guardian.

I would opt for 'The Ongoing Moment' by Geoff Dyer as well. I heard Geoff being interviewed last week about his new book 'See/Saw' and I have it on order.

There was an August Sander exhibition in Königswinter in 2018. I didn't go to it but I bought the catalogue and was also offered a real delight. He is best known for his character studies but this is a small collection of his landscapes (and a few flowers, interiors etc.). While its text is in German, the photographs don't need explaining.
No author: August Sander: Das Gesicht der Landschaft - Rhein und Siebengebirge. Köln, 2017. 978-3-00-058316-2. Sorry to be a bit librarianly about the citation: it would make it easier to locate. |
