What is Book Flip, Book Flip for You?
"Book Flip, a book Flip For You" exists to expose (if not seen before) some photography work to the public (meaning probably to 1 or 2 of you) to books in the genre of Street photography and it's close siblings, social landscape and documentary photography. Other genres will be flipped for the sake of learning from that genre. Some of these photo-books have received little airplay, some a lot of depending on the certain period of time. My choice of the photo-books are subjective, from my own bent. Street photography (whether you like that term or not) is the greatest photographic genre of all time. These book flips will consist of books that I particularly appreciate and enjoy or photo books that I thought were okay yet thought photographers could learn from. Why did he/she choose to sequence this way? And many more questions that the viewer can ask. Some of the photographic poetry are in your face, some are intentionally subtle, some very serious, others pun-filled, some brilliant, some stray from photographic cliches, and some all the above.
