I have lost many hours on this site..

thanks for sharing it..

Yes, me too. I have a collection of photo books to pore over, most from used book stores (though sometimes from photo galleries or lectures, in lieu of a photo purchase), but a lifetime pleasure..

There's a new bit there today, on 'looking up' ...

I have to watch most in pieces..


right now I am working on the other half of Katrina...

Hours can go by.

One of my life's hard things was, upon our reasonably amicable divorce, on sorting out division of stuff, which I was the one to do, mostly, my husband got all the photo books I gave him as a present... those little books in French, forget the name of the series. If he tossed them, I may yet have to kill him. (I just checked, Collection Photo Poche) I trust they are not true to the real prints, but hey. Used to be able to get them at an art and architecture book store for $9.00 each.)

Another was not buying a Marc Riboud photo at the Stephen Cohen Gallery, getting a book instead, enough of a stretch at that.

I also had a pal back in the eighties, early nineties, who worked at a firm at the top of some building in San Francisco that had extremely good photos, early prints, on the walls, and I visited there with her once. Overcome by possessiveness, I was. Well, not really, in that I've learned to have the world my gallery, but I did want to stay past the visit to keep looking.
