"Workers" by Sebastiao Salgado Most likely on everyone's list but it should not be avoided because of that. "Rome" by William Klein I believe this is long out of print I paid $3.00 for my copy and the last I heard they were selling for about $125. That should tell you I am a very lucky bargain hunter ......... or ............. I have had this copy for just a we bit. "A Time We Knew" by William Albert Allard I'm a real fan. One of the few photographers that use color the way it should be used. IMHO Almost anything .................... by Alex Webb "Hot Light/Half-Made Worlds" "Amazon" "Under a Grudging Sun" Webb is one of the few that shoots color ....... where all I can say is .......... "Wow". I am a fan. "Cocaine True, Cocaine Blue by Eugene Richards I just like his style.............. I believe you should also include something by Ernst Hass. I do not , however, have anything of his and cannot give a recommendation. And last but not least, I believe there is an old curmudgeon up in Victoria B.C. that has a couple of books out. I do not have any first hand knowledge, but from what I have heard ............., they are worth looking at. One of these days (soon I hope) I plan a trip up that way just to look through the bookshelves. I also want to see what kind of Scotch he really drinks. Cheers, David Medley Whidbey Is.
