Osman C., Turner P. (ed.) Creative Camera International Year Book 1975

Coo Press, 1974. — 240 p.Back in the day there were a lot more interesting photography magazines than there are now. Creative Camera came from England and in addition they published a series of annual hardcover books edited by Colin Osman and Peter Turner.The 1975 edition includes portfolios by Robert Frank, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Ralph Gibson, Les Krims, and a number of other excellent photographers with whose work I am otherwise not familiar. Image reproduction (mostly one per page) is excellent on high quality paper.There is also a substantial article by A. D.Coleman about how photography was finally being accepted as a "serious field of creative and scholarly inquiry."In other words, both the magazine and the annuals were serious, worthwhile endeavors worth having supported at the time.
