Day 7 of the @graleycollection takeover on @archivalzone All photographs from the collection of Jeff Graley @graleycollection I have, from an early age, been fascinated by the other. I looked at, and watched them, and when it came to the pursuit of making photographs myself, I went out on the streets to capture them with my cameras. Recently, however, I lost my desire to shoot the street and its inhabitants. But I am still “taking my shots” with collecting these photos. It’s my fix. Now my studio/darkroom is filling up with boxes of photographs, floor to ceiling. It’s wonderful!!

Day 6 of the @graleycollection takeover on @archivalzone All photographs from the collection of Jeff Graley @graleycollection My very first pick collecting snapshots was an unplanned discovery of photos tossed in the trash by a relative of mine who was closing the estate of a deceased World War 2 veteran. This veteran was an army medic in the Army 34th Evacuation Hospital. He photographed his experiences in Ireland, England, France, Belgium and Germany. Among the hundreds of images was a set of photographs of the liberation of Buchenwald Concentration Camp, field hospitals as well as images of destruction. That was my first pick over thirty years ago, digging through the trash. I am amazed at how little people care about these photographs!!

Day 5 of the @graleycollection takeover on @archivalzone All photographs from the collection of Jeff Graley @graleycollection “[The snapshooter’s] pictures have an apparent disorder and imperfection, which is exactly their appeal and their style. The picture isn’t straight. It isn’t done well. It isn’t composed. It isn’t thought out. And out of this imbalance, and out of this not knowing, and out of this real innocence toward the medium comes an enormous vitality and expression of life.” “I am a passionate lover of the snapshot, because of all photographic images it comes closest to truth”. Lisette Model

Hi, @commonusebooks again. Now switching over to “Arm in Arm” by Remy Charlip, from 1969. This book is a collection of “connections, endless tales, reiterations, and other echolalia.” What it gets away with—the possibilities that it nests on each and every page—is simply remarkable. I hope you enjoy, and more soon more soon more soon : )
