And what a year it will be! Knight has a new photo book coming out (Schirmer-Mosel), as have Herb Ritts, Albert Watson, and other photographic stars. Now you know why we're feeling triumphant.

THE TRIUMPH OF PHOTOGRAPHY, 1995 - the power and importance of photography just keep growing. Without doubt, the art exhibition of the season is Robert Frank's much discussed retrospective at the National Gallery of Art in D.C. meanwhile, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC has scored with a brilliant show of masterpieces by 19th century French photographer Edouard Baldus. And book publishers everywhere have scrambled to put on an array of the most significant, and downright beautiful, photo books ever seen (including volumes on Frank and Baldus).

PHOTO BOOKS YOU OUGHT TO OWN - While we were busily looking at a lineup of magnificent new photo books, we got to wondering - which books should any self respecting photo authority have in her or his library?
