You missed ‘A Dialogue With Solitude’ by Dave Heath, Community Press, 1965. It was re-issued by Lumiere Press in 2000.

Thanks for sharing this Shane! Most of the classics in there, and a few new ones for me to google…cheers.

Would love to know what Bill thinks of more recent books too…

He’s clearly forgetting Mitch Epstein’s Family Business, but I’ll let it slide…

I interviewed with Burke when I was applying to graduate schools – great guy.

Shane,

American, American, American, just kidding. This is an excellent list, my favourites being almost all of them but I still canÄôt get away from: ÄúThe Bikeriders by Danny LyonÄù, ÄúTulsa by Larry ClarkÄù, ÄúThe Animals by Garry WinograndÄù, and of course ÄúWilliam EgglestonÄôs Guide by William EgglestonÄù. Now IÄôm going to Amazon to get into more debt.
