1987. First Edition . Signed. BURKE, Bill. I Want to Take Picture. Atlanta: Nexus Press, 1987. Folio, original laminated boards. $2600.First edition, one of only 1000 copies printed of Burke’s photographic account of his travels in Southeast Asia, inscribed on the title page: “For Norman. Bill Burke.”Part diary, part scrapbook, part photo essay, in I Want to Take Picture “Burke’s black-and white Polaroid and 35mm Leica photographs are surrounded by colorful cigarette packs, beer labels, bottle caps, massage parlor come-ons, and scrawled journal pages that add a hands-on immediacy to the spreads. Rather than feeling added-on or unfinished, this gonzo layout is entirely appropriate to the contents of the book… The triumph of this book is that it does manage to reflect the mad experience of traveling in Southeast Asia, while still reflecting on what it all means” (Roth, 258). A fine inscribed copy.

Atlanta, Nexus Press, 1987. . First edition, signed within an outline of Burke's hand on verso of the front free endpaper; folio (380 x 285 mm, 15 x 11¼ in); black-and-white photographs and colour reproductions of ephemeral items, printed in offset; endpapers illustrated with a montage of press cuttings, photo-illustrated glazed paper-covered boards, fine; [60]pp. Bill Burke studied Far Eastern art and religion at university while the United States was engaged in the Vietnam War. In the early 1980s, he travelled through Southeast Asia, particularly Thailand and Burma, where he photographed refugees fleeing there from Pol Pot's brutal regime in Cambodia. He subsequently entered Cambodia and took photographs of people there, including members of the Khmer Rouge.
