Lugnuts:

Yesterday ran across two fairly new books with Leica photos:

Retrospective of Eisenstadt's work.

Retrospective of Jean-Loup Sieff's work.

The power of B/W, the power of things well seen, well realized.  The
power of decisive moments not always of important historical events, but
sometimes simply the profound simplicity of everyday life.  The power of
sensuousness that goes far beyond erotica the way mystical experiences
go beyond religious ritual.  

Yeah,  I liked them.
