We really need to avoid treating the artistic choice of print size just like any other fad.

In 1952, when the budding photographer Gerald Ratto was a 19-year-old student at the California School of Fine Arts, he spent much of his time in the Fillmore district of San Francisco. Wandering around the neighborhood with his Rolleiflex camera and a bottle of brandy, he shared drinks and conversation with the residents and snapped pictures of the local kids as they played in the street.

Robert Frank's The Americans still shocks, 50 years on
Robert Frank’s The Americans still shocks, 50 years on
A detailed exhibition currently at the New York Met reveals the extraordinary power of the photographer’s eye, finds Sean O’Hagan
via the Guardian: http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/2009/nov/30/robert-frank-the-americans-exhibition
First published in France in 1958 and – to considerable controversy – in America the following year, The Americans remains one of the most important photography books of the 20th century. “It is difficult to remember how shocking Robert Frank’s book was,” the late, great John Szarkowski wrote in 1968, having curated an earlier show of the work at New York’s Museum of Modern Art. “The pictures took us by ambush then … He established a new iconography for contemporary America, comprised of bits of bus depots, lunch counters, strip developments, empty spaces, cars, and unknowable faces.”

With My Dakota –– which started out as an exploration of my relationship with the American West and ended up also becoming an elegy for my brother, Dave, who died unexpectedly –– my writing abandoned me for two years after he died. I’m not entirely sure, but perhaps the hole left by my not being able to write somehow intensified my need to photograph during this time, because it was the only way I had left to express myself.

The People of India is an extraordinary document, which was published in eight volumes between 1868 and 1875, under the editorship of Dr John Forbes Watson and John William Kaye. Its 480 plates, depicting the various castes and tribes of India, have ensured its place among the most important 19th century attempts to harness photography to an ethnographic project.

Trent Parke, a Magnum photographer from Australia, is one of the first photographers that Rebecca and I showed our Violet Isle book dummy to a couple of summers ago in Paris. There was good reason: He and his wife, Narelle Autio, the wonderful and painterly photographer, had already published a joint book of their photographs, The Seventh Wave (2000). So no surprise that Trent was the first to notice how our two bodies of work played off each other.
