Useful printed stuff

If there is an analysis of a single photograph or a useful self portrait I will highlight it here.

• Koetzle, Hans-Michael 2002 Photo Icons: The Story Behind the Pictures - Volume 2 (Koln: Taschen) [This book discusses one photograph "Revenge of the Goldfish (1981)" by Sandy Skoglund in considerable detail. An excellent source for a detailed analysis.]
