Photo-eye invited 70 photobook notables to present their favorite photobooks from 2020. Tim Carpenter chose ours.
An extract from his text:
"One of the book’s subtitles is “... it’s not pretty,” and I suppose that’s the case because nor is life, but equally true is Szarkowski’s assertion that Dane discovered “a kind of optimism, still available at least to the eye.” Which is why you might call him a photographer’s photographer: affirmative meaning lies in the pictures (in the seeing), and not in anything external to them – a stance not much in vogue these days. The book’s other subtitle is “I’m still in love.” Same here. This kind of thing is the reason why.”
