When Gerry Badger and Martin Parr produced their amazing two volume edition, THE PHOTO BOOK, I firmly believe that they overlooked an important genre. That of the cook book. One of my favorite photo books is a little hard-back recipe book called BE BOLD WITH BANANAS produced in Wellington sometime in the sixties and printed not surprisingly by the Gothic Printing Company. Whoever made the pictures in the book, preempted Parr for seriously strange and for color saturation. And if Freud had been able to get his hands on a copy he would have had a field day.... here are four pictures.... eat your heart out....
