David Solomons has released a book of his black and white street work from 1990-2007. He works primarily in color these days but after viewing this book I can say he’s equally as skilled at black and white. The book includes 86 photographs and for those familiar with his work through Flickr, there are numerous that you can’t find online. It’s a great book by one of the most dedicated street photographers working today.
BUY THE BOOK [David Solomons Photography Books]
Also, if you’re in London you can check out an exhibition of this work at Oxford House in East London. It runs through November 28th.

“Perhaps because you want to understand. Me, I do not try to understand. For me, the most beautiful thing is to wake up, to go out, and to look. At everything. Without anyone telling me “You should look at this or that.” I look at everything and I try to find what interests me, because when I set out, I don’t yet know what will interest me. Sometimes I photograph things that others would find stupid, but with which I can play around. Henri as well says that before meeting a person, or seeing a country, he has to prepare himself. Not me, I try to react to what comes up. Afterwards, I may come back to it, perhaps every year, ten years in a row, and I will end by understanding.”
