Vertical View par Horst Hamann
Received as a birthday gift. Had never heard of Horst Hamann before, but his collection of vertical black and white photos are an interesting way of looking at scenes we might otherwise ignore. The book has one of the best introductions I have ever read, both in a photography book, but also in general.
Dual French and English for the most part but the two short essays are also translated into several other languages. Each photo is accompanied by a short quotation about Paris or France more generally, often bearing some relation to the image itself.
Hamann, in his introductory essay talks about needing to find a new way of looking at Paris that captures something other than the superficial tourist city. He acheived that by taking pictures with a panoramic camera, but in "portrait" orientation. The results are fabulous and in many respects the kind of photos I like to take myself - with the important difference that he's a pro where-as I'm a not even serious amateur...

A really beautiful look at NYC, with quotes from famous people about the city. My favorite, paired with a photo of the Manhattan Bridge, as seen from Brooklyn: "The true New Yorker secretly believes that people living anywhere else have to be, in some sense, kidding." John Updike.
