Facsimile pages from the diaries, along with images by the photographer, including self-portraits, lend the volume an immediacy and authenticity. As curator Tomás Pospěch writes, \"Koudelka's diaries are a 'cookbook' of classic photography. He associated with the most renowned photographers. His notes sum up his rich experience, including with the now-vanishing technology of analog black-and-white photography. His remarks, quips, and stories reappear, just as he repeatedly made resolutions, affirmed the rules he had adopted, and recalled earlier events and dreams.\" \u003ci\u003eDiaries\u003c\/i\u003e is a perfect companion to \u003ci\u003eJosef Koudelka: Next\u003c\/i\u003e (2023), the visual biography by Melissa Harris.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Josef Koudelka\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1597115932\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781597115933\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Aperture\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/12\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 472\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Josef Koudelka","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47931075526911,"sku":"9781597115933","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_62a1cb50-876e-40e9-8a4f-7a77ba77f5e5.jpg?v=1766346278","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/josef-koudelka-josef-koudelka-9781597115933","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
