Brian Rose (*) writes Photobooks (*):

Despite the digitization of photography - or perhaps because of it - we are in a golden age of photography books. There are now numerous websites, blogs, and Facebook groups that review or sell photo books, and all of that virtual infrastructure helps build community and encourage sales. But without local bookstores, where one can browse, discover, pick up and feel, fewer photo books will reach the public. Simple as that.

A great insight into this body of work which will be published as a book in mid-August..

It depends on where you come from and what you've been influenced when growing up, the reaction you will have to specific imagery [..] it just depends on what has happened in your life to bring what you bring to these images, what that conjour up and what they mean to a specific person. [..]

It's important that people react to the images from their own perspective from where they have come in life.
