I just went to the library with a very specific mission: To research authors for the Watershed book I’m doing with Photolucida.

Of course, as always, I got distracted by all the amazing photo books that have come out in the last few years…and I ended up bringing home 7 books…

Some of the highlights include:

Small Wars by An-My Lé

Yangtze - The Long River, by Nadav Kander

Prix Pictet 2008 - Water

Prix Pictet 2009 - Earth

Landscape 2 by Toshio Shibata

ACROSS THE DIVIDE: CRITICAL MASS 2010

March 3 – 25, 2011

JUROR: TODD HIDO

Artists’ Reception Friday, March 4, 6 – 7:30 pm

The aim of Photolucida’s Critical Mass program is to give exposure to emerging and mid-career photographers across the globe. In 2010, 552 artists entered their work for the chance to be seen by over 200 professionals in the photography world. Curators, gallery directors, editors, and publishers reviewed the work of these artists, and through a truly democratic process, narrowed the field down to the Critical Mass Top 50. Todd Hido selected one image per artist to represent the artists’ projects.
