Now that this particular module is nearly at an end – I just have to speak to my tutor about Assignment 6 and then prepare for assessment – this is probably as good a time as any to post a bibliography of all the books and other materials that I have consulted and used while working on this unit, though it might need a bit of updating before I actually finish.
A couple of things strike me. One is how heavily “front-loaded” the course is, with much of the reading list coming in at the early stages. As the course has progressed there has been noticeably less by way of references to consult and follow up and material to read. Another point is that on the recommended reading list are relatively few books that I would regard as really essential. There is quite a lot of material that is only touched on lightly or tangentially that one could probably have got away with (if I can put it this way) not reading at all. Indeed, a couple of books strike me as not really worth the effort, and one a complete waste of paper and ink, not mention my time and money (I will refrain from naming the guilty parties!). That said, a couple of titles that I would not regard as being essential were in fact simply a pleasure to read in their own right.
Otherwise, as I have done with previous course units, much of what I have looked at has been at my own initiative, “reading around the subject”, a practice drummed (if not actually beaten) into me back in the days when I was at school and then an undergraduate, keeping my eyes open for anything that is interesting, and ideally relevant to the work I have been doing.
The other notable point is just how many other photography books I have looked and over the last year or so that have not made it into the bibliography. Notwithstanding that many of them have dealt, more or less straightforwardly, with issues of landscape and peoples’ relationships with their environment, not all have had any direct relevance to or impact upon the work that I have been doing. To that extent I have decided not to include them in the list that follows. Perhaps though I should make a separate list, even if only a partial one, of these other books to record the fact that I have looked at them. I do feel that even if not of direct significance to this academic work it is important to keep a broad and open outlook and, simply put, to look at as much other work as possible. This will inevitably inform the work that I do, even if only at an unconscious level and at some unforeseeable time in the future. Looking at the work of others is one of the best ways that I know of learning more about the art and craft of photography, that cannot otherwise successfully be transmitted and absorbed simply by sticking to a fairly narrow prescribed reading list. It is also simply fun (if expensive!) just to get out there and see what wonderful work is being published, not to mention to support contemporary artists and often small, independent, publishers.
