Five Thousand Days
The British Press Photographer’s Association (BPPA) has launched a book and exhibition entitled Five Thousand Days, which chronicles photography by BPPA members covering the first five thousand days since the fall of the Berlin wall. The book has its own website with galleries and a link to pre-order it from Amazon.
There’s also an article about the production of the book over at The Digital Journalist by Neil Turner. Neil has a great website devoted to issues in digital photography with useful articles and tutorials.
The book is edited by Harold Evans who wrote the definitive book on press photography - Pictures on a Page - which is seemingly not that well known outside the UK but a great read. It is worth it for the chapters on cropping alone, which are guaranteed to make one think anew when staring at that screen trying to work out how to make a crop.
