[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Hi Alastair, My two favorite darkroom books are "DARKROOM" and DARKROOM 2 Both published by LUSTRUM PRESS The first one in 1977 and the 2nd 1978 If you can find them the first one is a must have. It features: WYNN BULLOCK JERRY BURCHARD LINDA CONNOR LARRY CLARK RALPH GIBSON BETTY HAHN EIKOH HOSOE GEORGE KRAUSE ELAINE MAYES DUANE MICHALS W. EUGENE SMITH GEORGE TICE JERRY UELSMANN Each photographer goes into detail on their particular set up and procedures. It is most interesting to read about their different idiocincroucies. Being a big W. Eugene Smith fan I find his commentary and procedures most interesting. Most of us know of his "driven" nature in the darkroom.

I have a number of old Leica books, most of which came bundled up with dust gathering but lovely cameras ;-) I try to collect monographs of the exhibitions I have seen, and some from seminal photographers. At the moment, I'm collecting a range of the best books I can find on darkroom techniques before they all disappear: any suggestions?
