ARRIVED! To: "Leica Users Group" <lug at leica-users.org> Message-ID: <A01240EA9115429C89012F4838034477 at syneticfeba505> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" INDIGNATS........ the book arrived today! WOW!!!!!!!!!!! May I suggest if you consider yourself a photographer who enjoys interesting photography shot by others........... BUY THIS BOOK WITHOUT QUESTION! Some of you know I have a personal library of many hundreds of photography related books, a hobby of mine. I think the oldest dating back to 1910, title " The Romance of Modern Photography." Hardly call it "modern by today's standards." Extremely interesting! But that isn't what this post is about! Lluis Ripoll's book "INDIGNATS" held my attention today while I went front to back again and again at least 6 or 7 times! Maybe 8, but it's so well assembled, the photography as street photography is classic of the best with the greats! Yes you will see some from the LUG gallery, but who cares. As this is as spell binding as a collection as you turn page after page. Street photography as good as it gets. You're not buying a book made up of images by Cartier Bresson that you've seen in a previous dozen books or more. We've seen them so often during the past 70 or more years we've memorized his work, we've seen it so often. Damn near "boring!!!!" Jeeeeeeshhhh don't get up set as I've been looking at his photography since 1949! Lluis is all brand new! :-) Actually the new kid on the block! INDIGNATS? A beautifully printed quality of B&W as B&W should look! I'd say the best of the BLURB publications I've seen. That's the technical stuff. It's the photography, page after page of split second reactions capturing life's passing moments. Quite amazing indeed. So ladies and gentlemen if you like photography books, after all why wouldn't you, we are photographers after all. Get a copy of Lluis's "INDIGNATS" as it's one of those special photo books; A: you can't put it down! B: You'll look through it many times, amazed each time. And he's one of our Crew! Thank you all.
