Edward Grazda's Favorite Books of 2023

Goin’ Down the Road with Robert Frank — Brian Graham.   Published by Steidl.

I don’t know of any other book of photos that documents one photographers' world by another photographer. Robert gave Graham an unstated gift: to be a fly on the wall for 40 years. Grahams’ photos are totally free, he does not bring his aesthetic with him (unlike Avedon’s Portrait of Frank).
