Photo Klassik International: Issue 2019.IV

I’d forgotten this was due, and had a rather pleasant surprise when it turned up. It has, however, taken me a long while to get through it. No reason other than too many alternatives to read. That makes the review a little tricky, I’ve tried to take a run back through and work out what I most enjoyed at the time, what stuck in my mind, but it will be a very short affair.

  • Bruce Barnbaum’s article on Understanding Light” is as fascinating and enlightening as his previous essays. So far everything of his has been well worth reading.
  • The article on Ilford’s recent growth by Christopher Osborne was a fascinating view of the company, and how it’s coped with the changing market place.
  • Christopher Schmidtke’s view on Collecting Photobooks and the Art of Storytelling” chimed with my views that I need to spend less on gear and more on photobooks and film, and work out how to tell stories.

I look forward to the next one (I’ll have to check if I need to renew or not), and will try to read it a little quicker.
