I just discovered your channel, very inspiring to see this books that I can't afford to buy. They inspire me to be more creative in my photo-projects. Thank you!
I don’t think so. Considering how many photos are shot by a professional photographer, even for a single project , I would expect eighty percent very good, excellent and astounding photographs in the book. Maybe I’m being too harsh.
I haven't spent much time with 'King Queen Knave,' and I hear you for sure. In general, though, I think it's about the sequence and the relationship between elements/geometries/whatever from one picture to another, rather than the goodness of any particular photo. Halpern (and his editors) might have even dropped a few good photos to make the sequence work or flow better.
@@JamesDotCom That sounds like a scam. Like Wall Street placing ninety per cent junk assets with ten per cent AAA assets and selling the asset with a grade of AAA. ( Yes! Walk Street did that in 2007)
Yep... I remember well. With Photobooks, that's really the way it goes much of the time. Sure, there are retrospective, "best of" books, but for monographs like this, there sorta have to be stronger and weaker pictures for the thing to flow, I think. And, as always, ymmv.

Thank you! It's a complex book...

I’m disappointed. I only saw five (in my mind) very good photos.

I see your knife is about as sharp as mine😝
Ya.. I need to clean it and maybe run it past a sharpening stone.
