New additions to my library. I got Magnum China from the store, and 3 more just arrived via mail, as I couldn’t find them anywhere else in stores. Good price and such a bargain for new old books. Perfect for my coffee table reading material, and as they’re mostly photographs, I’d say they’re going to be a visual feast, and perhaps some inspiration. At least my weeks ahead are covered!
I read a lot, and I have plenty of photography books, from Cecil Beaton to Lindbergh. I’m currently reading the Magnum Manifesto, and it’s interesting to learn about their conception, struggles, and ethos from the early foundation years up until the modern day. It’s an elitist group of photographers, each with distinctly discerning creative eyes, which makes browsing the archives even more satiating. At least, it’s better than doom-scrolling social media feeds (cue visual fatigue)!
