The third Reading Photographs Notes explores three works that challenge a familiar assumption: that a photobook must behave like a book. Together, they prompted conversations about material, memory, authorship, and how the form of a book can become inseparable from the photographs it carries.

The second Reading Photographs Notes gathers conversations inspired by three photobooks that approach family from very different perspectives. Together, they prompted reflections on memory, inheritance, and the ways photographs sometimes help us begin conversations that are otherwise difficult to have.

Although Reading Photographs has been quietly taking place for several months, these are the first notes we've chosen to leave behind. They gather together conversations inspired by three photobooks and the people who made them—an evening of shared observations on quietness, memory, books, and the many ways photographs invite us to slow down and look.
