I’ll start, I love sports photography and There and Back by Jimmy Chin is something I can recommend if you like that kind of photos.

Based. I've made one exception as it pertains my people. It's kinda glossed over though, doesn't really show the kind of conditions which lead to a lot of the emigrants leaving North America for the Soviet Union (where they were executed and dumped in sand pits after getting their farms and villages off to a good start). The Japanese architecture book had an enclosed letter for its original owner signed by Yoshinobu Ashihara. It only mentions the first name of the recipient so I haven't been able to find out more. I'm only a rock and leaf man, after all.

ashihara letter
>>4392150
For current year I cannot say. I just hoard old books, most of the sceneries in them are long gone through the abandonment of rural life and old industrial centers, and I just want to see how things used to look. I don't associate with other photofags so I don't know what other rock and leaf enjoyers are doing. Maybe someone is making landscape books, but as far as I know nobody these days gives a shit about you unless you shoot animals or some ultra gimmicky stuff like macros of snowflakes.

Pic is the letter from the architecture book in case anyone cares. I just picked it up from an old junk store for 5€.

from Brasil!
with an s, as we write it (in portuguese, but yeah "captura de tela" is the same both in Portuguese and Spanish – actually Spanish more commonly refer to "screen" as "pantalla")
>>4394282
are you brazilian too?
anyway, here's my still small collection and I recommend them all
went to both Doriyama's and Evandro Teixeira's exhibition and got them both in a book fair a couple months later
love those books
Teixeira's is about the coup d'État in Chile in september 11th 1973 and the following dictatorial period under Pinochet
Moriyama's is beautiful and beautiful aesthetically, makes you rethink your approach to photography in terms of experimentation and aesthetics – not copying him, but understanding how your tools work (camera, film, lenses, chemicals, their temperature variations, concentrations etc.) to the point of envisioning and manipulating your photos to specific and sometimes new experimentations, expanding a bit our expressive possibilities
Araki's is beautiful too in its own particular way, absolutely sublime
Magnum Contact Sheets is great for getting to know the thought and visual processes from a variety of some amazing photographers
