Over the last year I’ve talked about a few inspirational photography books on my bookshelf. This time, I thought I’d make my discovery of the photographic masters a little more interactive. Would it not be more interesting to read the book at the same time as others? Similar to a book club, but with less Oprah and more photographs.
I thought we could start with a book I’ve just ordered for Christmas The Americans by Robert Frank. So if you’re interested please beg, borrow or buy a copy and then I’d love to hear your comments. Exciting stuff.

On November 30th there was a piece in The Guardian about an exhibition of The Americans by Robert Frank.

The writer states: “The Americans remains one of the most important photography books of the 20th century.”
Looking forward to getting my copy.
