we love: "just kids" a written and visual diary by patti smith

Have you ever seen patti smith in a concert? well, if you havent i
would suggest you to do it whenever you have the chance to do it.
reading poetry, singing, talking to the audience, es ist egal,
this lady is pure.
this book was published last year,
a nice compilation of her memoires about her teen years, the early 20´s,
her relation with new york, and her long time partner and friend
robert mapplethorpe and their mutual relationship with creativity.
"just kids" is a beautiful story filled up with pages with great
photography and poetry from both, smith and mapplethorpe,
written withouth walls between the reader and the writer;
a beautiful farewell.

we love: ed templeton´s "the golden age of neglect" photobook

its getting hot in here... this book came to my hands and i felt instantly in love with it. ed templeton is one of my early loves on contemporary photography. he is amazing. i love how he writes on his own photos, this mix of written and image, this visual diary need taken to the fully explanation of the moment, of the how, the when. i love how he displays his pieces in his exhibitions and he is just a talented talented talented artist. this "golden age of neglect" was an exhibition at the palais de tokio in paris a few years ago. this is the catalog that stays and make people happy in despite of the temporary access to the hung pics. and thats exactly why we love books like this one.
