This is not a book review

But this is (of sorts)

I keep going on about the importance of printing as the fastest way to improve our photography. The reason being that putting a photograph up on a wall where it can be seen every day allows us to live with it in a way that develops a deeper appreciation of its merits and “faults”.

Bill Cowan’s book contains 111 portraits from his collection and his reflections on them. He has collected them over his working life and lived with them on his walls. I read the review, went to his website (eleventyoneportraits.com) and despite claiming my book buying days were over, ordered a copy.
