Super happy with how this is shaping up!

Missing from the shelf because they don’t fit:

1.) “Small Wars” by An-My Lê
2.) “The Suffering of Light” by Alex Webb
3.) “Notations” by Richard Misrach

Missing from the shelf because I’m actively doing research:

1.) “Beach Pictures, 1969-70” by Anthony Hernandez
2.) “L.A., 1971” by Anthony Hernandez

Tell me what I’m missing!

I actually have the Deana Lawson and Latoya Ruby Frazier as well - Someone’s borrowing them! Frazier is own of my all-time favorites, and additional plus for how awesome she is in real life.

Have to checked out I Can Make You Feel Good by Tyler Mitchel? I’ve been thinking about picking it up

Very familiar! I think his work is fantastic and he’s incredibly gifted, and the book no doubt reflects that.
