Subject: [Leica] Book: recommendation

I've almost finished reading the text in
"Imogen Cunningham, Ideas without End, A Life in Photographs."
by Richard Lorenz
and highly recommend it.

Richard Lorenz does a superb job
of creating an environmental life portrait of
this most remarkable photographer.
Extensively researched;
he uses notes, figures and plates,
better than most,
to create a remarkable sense
of her life, times peers.

I've had this book for years.
Have looked at the plates many times.
Yet, finally reading this beautiful text,
has opened my eyes to her work
in totally new ways.

If you're looking for inspiration,
photographic history,
and deeper understanding
of our art and craft:
