5.0 out of 5 stars
Simple and Wonderful,
By A Customer
This review is from: Other Pictures: Anonymous Photographs from the Thomas Walther Collection (Hardcover)
"Other Pictures" is another great book from Twin Palms Publishers. It is a collection of snap shots by anonymous photographers. It is the perfect book for anyone who has lost hours at flee-markets or junk stores pouring over vintage photographs. I gave this book to an artist friend and got rave reviews. The collector who put these picutres together seem to have a wonderful sense of humor and a real love of "Happy accidents." The pictures found within are a pleaseure. It reminds me of the pictures that didn't make it into the family album - but tell the real story.

the art of unintended consequences,
By Pat Padua "ppad" (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Other Pictures: Anonymous Photographs from the Thomas Walther Collection (Hardcover)
This isn't a book for those in search of precisely composed and exposed photography of traditionally museum-worthy subjects. These images are for those who thrive on surprise and the accidental. Mysterious, inexplicable, impenetrable, they're full of wonder if you open your eyes. And the presentation is similarly serendipitous, avoiding categories to offer a better sense of the unexpected images one might find at at flea market. This is one of my very favorite photography books, and belongs on the shelf os anyone interested at all in found or vernacular photography.

That is fun ..... memory recycle,
By Duncan Wong (EyesCoffee.com from Hong Kong) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Other Pictures: Anonymous Photographs from the Thomas Walther Collection (Hardcover)
The photographs are part of the Thomas Walther collection, which is assembled after endless search in flea markets, junk stores, etc. It is the accompanying catalogue of the exhibition with the same name, which has been taken place in different places around the world. I got this copy when visiting the exhibition in Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney.
These found photos dated from 1910 and 1960, which were taken by anonymous individuals. Images are personal, intimate, and full of humour. Out of its context, it provides a means of collective memory of our past. Perfect match if you like second-handed stuff, junks, etc
