    I suspect Gen AI is going to reduce the potential for this market given that publishers margins are gossamer thin and licensing costs become avoidable. Which would be a great shame. Henry Miller cover reminds me of David Goldblatt’s ‘Particulars’. Appreciate the original content angle.

    Very interesting, something of a revelation to me. Admittedly I do not read a great deal of fiction so I never made the connection between book covers and street photography. So will I need a new bookcase to house paperback fiction that will stand next to my collection of photographic books? Time will tell.🤫

    Great selection, nice one. Funny how your Alex Webb choice is one with his infamous use of the silhouette, something that is now copied to death by street togs everywhere, and has now been labelled 'the curse of Alex Webb'! Trent Parke is incredible, his execution of the film medium is dream like. IMHO Meyerowitz is overrated and a big part of his success is of course his mentoring by Robert Frank, the one hit wonder of "Americans'. But what do I know? Subbed.

    • @rupertvandervell
      @rupertvandervell 10 днів тому

      I know what you mean about Meyerowitz but I admire his dedication and his picture is a great example of street photography from the time.

    thanks Rupert for keeping alive street photography. So much of it now is more portraitism(my own word) rather than a serious art form that includes traditional art structure like leading lines and dynamic symmetry. So much is concentrating on gear and running around all over town looking for much of nothing rather than waiting for the shot at a set up location. And what happened to some meaning in the photo?
