With everyone settled back in school, we decided it was time to hand out a bit of homework and have them do a summer book report. No, we didn’t assign this task before the summer ‘break’, but let’s go with the theme! On this episode, the team sits down and shares some of their favourite photo books (two each, since we love to talk). These books could be anything from pure photography and technical guides to group projects. The books on today are: The Camera, The Negative, The Print, Magnum Contact Sheets, The Canada Chronicle, Tao of Photography, The Disappearing Darkness, Photography through the Pandemic, Understanding Exposure, Learning to See Creatively, The Film Photography Handbook (3rd Edition), The Darkroom Cookbook, and a few others.
