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\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 472\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.3 x 8.4 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 12, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47949056704733,"sku":"9781597115933","price":72.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/uov3ZDMjLT9781597115933.webp?v=1779432836","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/josef-koudelka-diaries-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
