Highly regarded first edition of “I Want to Take Picture" by Bill Burke, published by Nexus Press, Atlanta. This seminal photobook documents Burke’s travels through Cambodia and Thailand in the aftermath of the Khmer Rouge regime, blending documentary photography, collage, and handwritten notes to create a deeply personal and haunting visual journal.

Recognized as one of the great late-20th-century photobooks, it’s featured in major references such as “The Open Book" and “Martin Parr & Gerry Badger’s The Photobook: A History, Vol. II".
