Books are the Foundation to Gear

I recently moved into my new office and along with an upgrade in computing came a new (and growing) library. My latest acquisition? “10″– 10 Years of In-Public. It arrived yesterday from Nick Turpin Publishing in London who puts out some seriously superior work, including their first release — the Publication #1 Manuscript and prints — which is nothing short of excellence.

The In-Public website and its members have served as a great inspiration to me since I began shooting Street in 2006. It is for this reason that I’m making this thank you post. It’s also the reason that I made a quick buy of ‘10.’ Of course, the book did not disappoint.

‘10′ is fantastic for anyone interested in Street Photography. Along with pictures from many of the best contemporary Street Photographers, Ten is made extremely well, from the binding to everything in between. I highly recommend that you buy it for your own shelf.

If you’re in Vancouver, a group of local Street Photographers are planning an outing to the Henri Cartier-Bresson “Master of the Instant” exhibit at the West Vancouver Museum this Saturday. I’ll have Ten in hand and I’m more than happy to let you preview my copy (if you bring white cotton gloves). ;)

Let me know if you interested in coming out to the photowalk and the show and thanks again Nick and all of In-Public photogs for the inspiration. I can’t wait to see ‘20′ when it hits the shelves in a decade. With that, my apologies to HCB — you’re now fourth deep in the book stack — right behind Fred Herzog, Roy Arden and now the entire cast at In-Public.
