PhotoLA has one more day to go, but we feel like our mining for gold is complete for now.
You probably didn’t know it, but we were also looking for some gold to pass on to you, in a real tangible sense.
So we went shopping.
It’s not that Edward Weston print for $120K.
Nor the Man Ray that people were drooling over. Don’t have the extra $600K
But it’s a pretty darn cool book that is brand new on our discovery radar:Beaumont’s Kitchen

We found this at the D.A.P. bookstore, and having a photographic curatorial legend like Beaumont Newhall teach you a thing or two about cooking, and with tipped in photos by the likes of Ansel Adams, Edward Weston, Paul Strand Bernice Abbott, and Newhall himself.
This is just one of the most unique and wonderful books on blending what you love.

This was published by Radius books in Santa Fe.
From the official descriptor:

“One evening in 1956 our friend Andrew Wolf burst into our house in Rochester with the startling news that he had bought a weekly suburban paper,The Brighton-Pittsford Post. He explained that he planned to report local news and publish columns on a variety of subjects, such as reviews of the theater, concerts, motion pictures and cooking. “You’ll be the food editor,” he told me! “What! I can’t do that!” “Why not? I know you can write because I like to read it. You can cook well, because I like to eat it.”–Beaumont Newhall, Focus: Memoirs of a Life in Photography, 1993.
