Martin Amis (welcome Hipshots to the blogosphere) makes note of The Sunday Times (UK) article highlighting the Best Photography Books of 2007 released in the UK. The titles were chosen by the UK’s own Martin Parr, photographer and noted lover of books.
Parr’s choice for book of the year went deservedly to Stephen Gill‘s strange and beautiful Hackney Flowers.
Other selections include:
The Genius of Photography by Gerry Badger
I’m a Real Photographer by Keith Arnatt
The Mother of All Journeys by Dinu Li
Welcome to Pyongyang by Charlie Crane
A China Chronicle by Zeng Li
A Shimmer of Possibility by Paul Graham
In England by Don McCullin
An American Index of The Hidden and Unfamiliar by Taryn Simon
Nein, Onkel (No, Uncle) by Timothy Prus and Ed Jones (editors)
Fashion Magazine by Alec Soth
Magnum Magnum by Magnum Photos
