| Please help: I am looking to give a gift of a book with collection of BLACK & WHITE photographs. Something that is unique and would be appreciated by a person who loves B&W photography. Not a tutorial or instructional book but rather a catalogue? Maybe even a collectible edition? Thank you! |

I have Africa by Herb Ritts - it's BEAUTIFUL!
It was a gift from a very special friend and absolutely appreciated.

I know it's trite, but I still think Ansel Adams is the best black & white.
I looked through amazon, and I hadn't seen this one before -- it looks interesting:
400 photographs

| I'll always plug Nick Brandt. I have both "On This Earth" & "A Shadow Falls" (standard edition). Magnificent work! |

Yousuf Karsh, "Regarding Heroes", is great. But it is pricey... The pinnacle of traditional portraiture. Avedon's "In the American West", mentioned by Spork a few posts ago, as all portraits also, but much less stylized. It, too, is a wonderful book.

| I would suggest Personal Ads Portraits (a book I worked on) but I don't think it's in print ... :-( |
