It’s that time of year once again!  Jörg Colberg from the fine-art photography blog Conscientious announces his picks for Best Photo Books of 2008. Thanks for highlighting Aperture’s The Places We Live!

Colberg notes:

Jonas Bendiksen’s The Places We Live shows the “apartments” of inhabitants of slums – a single room, with the fold-out pages showing each wall. The photos come along with the voices of the people living in those places (in the form of text).

Also check out the exhibition BARE curated by Jörg M. Colberg at Michael Mazzeo Gallery.

Featuring Rachael Dunville, Amy Elkins, Ethan Aaro Jones, Richard Learoyd, Jennifer Loeber, Hellen van Meene, Josh Quigley, Richard Renaldi, Jessica Roberts, Alec Soth, Shen Wei, former Aperture work scholar Carmen Winant.
