A now classic text on the art, Why People Photograph gathers a selection of essays by the great master photographer Robert Adams, tackling such diverse subjects as collectors, humor, teaching, money and dogs.

Adams also writes brilliantly on Edward Weston, Paul Strand, Laura Gilpin, Judith Joy Ross, Susan Meiselas, Michael Schmidt, Ansel Adams, Dorothea Lange, and Eugène Atget. The book closes with two essays on "working conditions" in the nineteenth- and twentieth-century American West, and the essay "Two Landscapes." Adams writes: At our best and most fortunate we make pictures because of what stands in front of the camera, to honor what is greater and more interesting than we are.

Top quality for the price but a little tight in the toe box
Size: 8.5, Color: Black Full Grain
A little tight around the toe box for me and I don’t have a particularly wide foot. But the quality is great and the look is awesome. Hoping they stretch out a bit with some wear!

Everyday Jeans With A Great Blend
Size: 32W x 33L, Color: Medium Wash
These are my new daily drivers. I got the Medium Wash in 32W x 33L, and the size and fit are true to size—a modern slim fit that's not too tight. The key is the stretchiness; there's just enough elastane in the material to make sitting, driving, and bending incredibly comfortable, unlike traditional stiff denim. The softness is immediately noticeable compared to raw denim. For long-term durability, the stretch blend should hold up well with normal wear. The functionality is perfect for casual work environments or weekend outings. Excellent value for a comfortable, stylish jean.
