[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have just read Magnum:50 Years on the Front Line of History by Russell Miller. I found it fascinating. Very few photographs and nothing about photo technique as such (and I can't remember how many Leica mentions!). But, it gives some interesting stories of the growth and dvelopment of Magnum and the changing world of reportage/photojournalism. Also lots of details of the "family" feuds inside Magnum, with plenty of stories of the clashing of big egos. A thoroughly good read. I got it at the Chapters mega book store in Edmonton. By the way, a good source for photo books is: http://www.photoeye.com They have thousands of photography books in stock and it is all they do. The web site is very useful for looking up titles/authors. Tim A Tim Atherton, Tim Atherton Photography, Box 515, Yellowknife, NWT, X1A 2N4, Canada.
