First of all, Stacy Kranitz’s new book, From the Study on Post-Pubescent Manhood is not the most elegant of books. It’s a saddle-stitched affair, more of a fanzine than a book, with 80 pages of indelicate front-on portraits of American youth wasted on drugs, music and skating.
It’s a children’s book for adults about what you knew as a kid, why it was important to forget and how great it is to remember!

Photojournalists On War is the result of five years of interviews with some of the world’s leading photojournalists. However, it’s also the fruit of Michael Kamber’s frustration over the harrowing images that were never shown or published before

Fortunately, this is not a thought-experiment. Aaron Huey has put in the requisite time, and spent years among the Oglala Lakota in South Dakota. You might have heard of the Pine Ridge reservation before, but you’ve never seen it like this.

It is very easy to make photographs of violence, of the dead. That’s relatively easy. But I wanted to create a deeper project about the social consequences of the violence and so I needed a lot of time to build up trust in people [being photographed]

With this book and Baghdad Calling (see my review here), van Kesteren single-handedly not only produced the two most relevant photobooks about the United States’ Iraq war, but he also raised the bar of what the medium photobook could do for photojournalistic work.

All in all, the book has the size and scope we’ve come to expect from similar retrospectives. It feels comparable to Friedlander, the 2005 MoMA survey. That is to say, both are enormous, calculated, and resourceful. Both will flatten any troublesome print left underneath. And both attempt a task which is perhaps impossible, to sum up 40 odd years in a few hundred pages and improve the understanding of someone already very well known

The space was decorted floor to ceiling with mementos, collected in the course of making of eighty-five books and countless projects with artists and photographers from Richard Avedon to Laurie Simmons and Sylvia Plachy and a team of designers, including Bonnie Briant and Kristi Norgaard. The video below offers a glimpse of Cuomo’s unique book-making process during the last days in her studio, and her thoughts about the ups and downs of relocating to a new space after so many years

Conceptually, an evolving book is interesting for a variety of reasons, and it is equally problematic I think. If I compare my first and third edition, what does the presence of new images tell me as far as the “story” is concerned? The addition of new images does change the story, and even if it is ever so slightly.

Kevin was kind enough to chat with me this past Winter about the entire publishing process, start to finish.

“What I say to people now is, you can make a book tonight,” says Gittins. “For less than the cost of a pizza, just make a book and get it back and see what you think. Do you like the paper? The printing? Don’t think of it as, “The Book,” think of it as a maquette. You can send that out to publishers, too. It may not be the be-all, end-all design, but it shows the work curated in a way that makes sense.”
