long lost photo books of the 80s • annie on camera

hey, ever wonder what photographers like stephen shore, william eggleston, garry winogrand, joel meyerowitz, and mitch epstein were up to in the 1980s? well, let me tell you: they were aimlessly wandering around the set of the movie annie snapping pictures. um, how bizarre is that?

the project was producer ray stark's idea and the result was annie on camera, a book that you'll want to snap right up if you ever find it on ebay. flipping through it today, exactly 25 years after it was published, there's something both weird and great about seeing the signature style of these majorly renowned art photographers applied to such 80s hollywood drivel...
