While working as a guard at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, Eskenazi began to ask photographers he knew visiting the Looking In exhibition about Robert Frank’s The Americans, to choose their favorite image and why. In the years since he quit, as he got back out on the road again to shoot, he complied hundreds of photographers’ answers in this unique book destined to become a classic in photography education.
Includes contributions from Mary Ellen Mark, Joel Meyerowitz, Jeffrey Ladd, Robert Frank, Martin Parr, Philip Perkis, Daido Moriyama, Bill Burke, Josef Koudelka, John Gossage, Anders Petersen, Mark Steinmetz, Vanessa Winship, Alec Soth, Mary Frank, and many more.
