Subject: My Unapologetic Review Of The PDML Photo Annual 2008-2009
"Gawd dang, this is an excellent book!"
---
I have many excellent photo books on my bookshelf these days and I spend
hours meandering through them. Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Frank,
Ernesto Sellario, Fan Ho, Juan Buhler, Michael Kenna ... and many others.
They are works that capture and recapture me, inspire me to keep
thinking, keep experimenting, keep pushing in my photography.
This year on the Pentax Discuss Mailing List ... a large, diversely
dysfunctional but friendly family of Pentax camera junkies ... the notion
came up of doing a Blurb.com photo book with proceeds to go to
CureSearch, the National Childhood Cancer Foundation
(http://www.curesearch.org ). The idea got traction, a plan developed. I
was late submitting a photo but the editor allowed me in at the last
moment. I'm so glad!
I've just received my copy. The book is a delight. There is a huge pool
of talent shown, a diversity of photos that span the world. Hats off to
the editors and to all the other photographers for a stunning effort: I'm
proud to have my photograph represented with such good work, and
delighted to promote the book for the sake of its cause. And it fits
right in with the other great books on my bookshelf.
As one of my best friends from college once said, "If you can only afford
to buy food, spend half of your money on art. Your mind needs to eat more
than your body." So Really: order a copy. You'll be doing the cause some
good and you'll get a great photo book to enjoy in return.
