If you've got the money, and you want to study photos, they can be a great resource. The best ones will combine great quality prints with information from the photographer himself or essayists/critics.

Some of my favorites that I have include:
>[Various] - Magnum Contact Sheets
>Stephen Shore - Uncommon Places
>[Various] - The Dusseldorf School
>Robert Frank - The Americans
>Walker Evans - American Photographs

Some people like to own/collect big expensive arty books. Nothing particularly wrong with that but if your main purpose is just to learn and get inspired then I'd say Google is your friend. Save the money fir getting out and taking photos.

Also there are a lot of good photographers who don't have big expensive arty books to their name

There is an out-of-print book of landscape and America photography that gets posted to /p/ from time to time where people will be all "hey /p/ critique my landscapes!!" The colors are pretty muted. It's got a long and overly pretentious title for the life of me I can't remember the name of it.

in fine arts the presentation matters as much as the image. do you really get the same effect looking at a Picasso exhibition in person as on a google image search?

>>2898999
>Daido moriyama - in colour
was this good / worth it? it looks really damn good but i'm always skeptical when a photographer 99% known for black and white puts out colour photographs

It's worth the 60 euros.
Really, only seeing the prints in a museum/exhibition is better than this.
Google is good for getting an idea but exbitions, museums and art albums are what matters.

There we go, some not tryhardy shit. I'd argue it's proof of your shit tastes, but an actual critique instead of the idiotic claim that his images are HDR looking.

I mean, I know you're trolling, but shouldn't trolling have some basis in reality? Shore was a teenager in the 60's. He didn't get his first major exhibition until the 70's, and his work didn't become known outside of elitist art circles until the 80's.

You both should grow up.

These threads were good, but if some guy or me don't show up to contribute they go to shit fast, because you are either too poorfag to buy books or too dumb to talk about culture. /p/ has like a handful of people, literally about 5 guys who actually make a contribution, the rest of you are all trash.
