3RDTUES Photobook Group January 2020

January 2020 Photographer of the Month Peter Beard and a selection of his handmade diaries.

January 2020 Photographer of the Month Peter Beard and a selection of his handmade diaries.

This month TCphotobookworld considers the photobook as diary. Or should that be diary as photobook? Either way, feel free to bring books that echo this theme. Think about the handmade, self-reflective, highly subjective, first-person point of view.

Or whatever you received for end-of-year gifts.

See you around the table.

Peter Beard’s career has brought him into contact with popular, artistic, and literary celebrities of the second half of the 20th century. His jet set milieu, however, has not muted Beard’s passion for the survival of the natural world in the face of ill-considered human interventions. A legendary correspondent, diarist, and raconteur, Beard’s path has intersected with the likes of Mick Jagger, Andy Warhol, Baroness Karen Blixen (a.k.a. Isak Dinesen, author of Out of Africa), fashion models Cheryl Tiegs and Iman, Francis Bacon (see illustration above), Brigitte Bardot, avant garde filmmakers including Jonas Mekas and Jerome HIll, and many others. His work reflects the ethics of an ardent yet skeptical humanist with a wise, gimlet-eyed take on the ambitions and vanity of homo sapiens. Crocodiles, lions, elephants, giraffes, and other members of the wild kingdom are Beard’s true celebrities.

I’m for conservation, but it’s mostly a con. That’s the trouble. It’s sentimental. Buy an elephant a drink, a lion an acre.
— Peter Beard

ARTIST OF THE MONTH December 2019

Through her indomitable drive to capture our collective history, Marilyn Bridges has continued to photograph landscapes marked by the designs of nature and man. Her photographs seek to establish a bond between the past and the present, and reveal the interplay of geography, time, and human intervention.
— Cornell Capa, Director, International Center of Photography
While on an assignment from a travel magazine in 1976, I was coaxed into an aircraft to take photographs of the enormous prehistoric ground drawings on the pampa at Nazca, which can only be seen in their entirety from the air. The flight in a single-engine airplane was a do-or-die initiation. Thermals over the desert rocked the plane constantly, not only scaring me intensely but also making me rather sick. Despite this negative reinforcement, what I was seeing below me was so fantastic that I was instantly hooked on flying and aerial photography.
— Marilyn Bridges, from her monograph Planet Peru (Aperture, 1991)

Bridges’ work compares favorably to: Terry Evans; Will Garnett; Emmett Gowin; David Maisel; Edward Steichen’s aerial reconnaissance photographs
