Often times those books are overly analytical and specific and can be a challenge to read, let alone get through. Fortunately Robert Adams holds an appreciation for simplification and utilizes this trait in his writing. "Why People Photograph" is a collection of essays in about photography. Adams focuses on ...             The Photograph66 reviews Penelope Lively Penguin (Non-Classics), 2004 Exquisite prose... This is a book you will either love or hate. I did both. The beginning was so painfully slow that I was often tempted to put it down. And, if I hadn't read Moon Tiger first (a truly brilliant novel), I might have simply given up. But, somewhere around the fourth chapter, the characters pulled me in. The Photograph is, first and foremost, a character study. The protagonist, a beautiful, ...             Understanding Exposure: How to Shoot Great Photographs with a Film or Digital Camera (Updated Edition)760 reviews Bryan Peterson Amphoto Books, 2004 Go a little deeper in Exposure....and enjoy the author's evident Love for image making.

The photos are great, the book dimensions show them off well, and the descriptions ...             Looking at Photographs: 100 Pictures from the Collection of The Museum of Modern Art9 reviews John Szarkowski The Museum of Modern Art, New York, 2009 Taught Me To See! I bought this wonderful book with my Christmas or birthday money over thirty years ago, when I was a teenager first interested in the art of photography.
