Herzog rings a bell, but I can’t remember why or where I’ve seen his work.. Leiter is pure poetry, Herzog more grounded, seems to me..

Another colour photographer worth checking out is Jeff Jacobson, Melting Ground.. no link, sorry, am on the phone only for a few days more..

And methinks I’ve not been very good this year, not one book under the tree.. must have streched the tree too much throughout the year ;)

John G. and Gordon L.,

I was lucky enough to see the exhibit at the Vancouver Art Gallery and hear a long interview with Herzog on CBC radio back in 2007. There is also a smaller but permanent exhibition of his color photos of Vancouver from the 1950s on the walls of Vancouver General Hospital which I have been back to see several times (a close friend who is a serious and talented amateur photographer works there). I’m sorry now I didn’t buy the book, but at the time I was quite broke.

John…

Yes Herzog’s work is absolutely sublime and until not long ago unheard of or highly underrated. Personally I much prefer Herzog’s work to that of Leiter who I find rather overrated.

Herzog’s work is amazing. I missed his show at the Vancouver Art gallery. http://www.vanartgallery.bc.ca/the_exhibitions/exhibit_herzog.html

His book “Vancouver photographs is now a classic and sells for over $300

Amelie..

Is there anything better to be found under the tree? ;) .. Pilgrimage, I assume it’s Leibovitz’? Flipped through it at the museum a couple weeks ago, but didn’t get it..

Civi..

You’re in for mail with the help of some friends, as soon as you and me stop traveling!

Eva, this year under the tree I found Divided Soul, Magnum Contact Sheets, and Pilgrimage. I flip through them all, then try to go back to just one. Reading, reading, reading!!

@ PANOS:
Great quote by Frida.
Lauging is the key.
Tragedy and misery come from Descartes, Kant, Nietzhe and all their friends… and also from Grecolandia thinkers, that liked lobotomize themself with sunny beaches and wine some 2500 year ago… butm but thanks to them we have rationality, western confort, microprocessors, computers and above all… BURNMagazine!

Ok, enough, NBA started yesterday!! :-)
