>>2708221I took out contact sheets from the library and it was super awesome. If you shoot b&w, doubly so, as you get to see a direct comparison to their workflow.
It was amazing how much people edited down, and how little they cropped. Most of when they did crop was obvious, though. It was also interesting to see how, generally, the quality of shots they DIDN'T pick was still pretty high.
Also on the butt:
Uncommon Places is book I keep going back to.
Anything by Alec Soth is interesting because of the way he puts books together.
The Americans is also one of my favs.
