Regrets I have a few, but then again too few to mention.
There are so many great books about photography out there. And over the years I have owned a lot of them. Ansel Adams was still writing, still doing Zone System Workshops when I was a young photographer. He was a master of the art form. He produced a series of books and a center piece of them was his series of photo books, Camera, Negative, Print. I owned these in hard cover, near the time that he wrote them. I also had his book on the instant image as an art form, he was an ambassador for Polaroid. A few years ago we consolidated from two homes to one, the much smaller of the two. In doing so we parted with a couple thousand books. Including virtually all of my photo books. Film photography was nearly dead, I had moved onto digital. I donated them to the local library. The books may have ended up in the collections, odds are they went in the next book sale, for $1 or $2 each. I am sure they found a good home. I have tried a couple of times to buy replaceme...
