#SummerSouls It‘s pretty hard to find the #sand in this Coney Island beach scene ! Love Weegee photographs though many are lurid crime scene photos.

Eggs Amazing 👏🏻👌🏼👍🏼 6mo

Mehso-so

It appears my experience with photography collections is similar to that of poetry collections: I'm happy to spend time finding the few that stand out to me.
As has been remarked upon by much more qualified critics, I love Leiter's moments of strong colour, the pure history of witnessing snippets of daily life from the 1950s, his fondness for umbrellas. 1/3

Robotswithpersonality I'm less enamoured with his often blurred, off-centre, obscured style - I don't have the formal art training to appreciate it by attributing it to the artistic movements that the essays in the back of the book do. 2/3 2y
Robotswithpersonality I was surprised by how much I loved the vibrant creativity seen in the mixed media showcased sparingly near the end of the collection: printings of black and white photos of female nudes from the 50s, subsequently liberally decorated in bright paint in the 90s. What a glorious way to summarize the generation-spanning work of a photographer and painter! 🎨📷 3/3 2y

No doubt Margit has her hands full with an art foundation, but based on this description, I would definitely read more from her.

In debt to Teju Cole for making me aware of Saul Leiter.

I was so thrilled with my gift from the Jólabókaflód Swap that I decided to make it my first read of the year. Humans of New York embodies what I hope to see magnified in the coming year: tolerance, acceptance and a lot more unconditional love between human kind.
Happy New Year out there and everywhere! May 2021 deliver more blessings than we can number.?

Booksnchill I love that this directed a positive flow into your 2021! Happy New Year! 4y
