As with yesterday, I had some very hard decisions to make. Maybe next time Alec Soth, Contstantine Manos (who really should have made yesterday’s black & white selection with one from his Greek Portfolio), Ernst Haas, Simon Roberts, Bas Losekoot and Matt Stuart.
Very interesting selections.Great choices. Interesting to find that I was way more emotionally engaged with the black and whites yesterday. B
Fantastic selection, thank you, and some good links to check out. Wow, I absolutely love that Saul Leiter one. Now to check out your b&w picks, I’ve come at these from the wrong direction!
