Fictcryptokrimsographs. A Book-Work by Les Krims (Les Krims)
This hysterical book by Les Krims contains reproductions of SX-70 photographs that have been altered during the development process. This technique lends a wacky, sometimes surreal sensibility to the conceptual nudes Krims has set up to photograph. A humorous look at the nude and sexuality and Krims' creative spirit.

William Egglestons guide (William Eggleston)
Not the first art photographer to exploit colour, but the first to be rewarded with a show at MoMA and the endorsement of modern photography’s very own Clement Greenberg, John Szarkowski, Eggleston became an enigmatic central figure in a new school of the everyday. There is however no denying the independent richness of his vision, its openness to a populist visual language, his strong sense of place, and a freshness of approach that is in part a product of never taking more than one shot of the same subject in a sitting.
