I really love books of #photography but I find it frustrating when there is no introductory text.
I get that photographers often lack appropriate verbal skills and some see text as necessarily overshadowing images but if *exhibitions* come with artist statements, why not the books that will quite often have been exhibited prior to publication?
I have one book and it has garnered some reviews and *every* review fixates on the title as it's the only handhold that the photographer offers.
