John G. Morris
University Of Chicago Press, 2002
Getting the Picture

How I Learned Not to Be a Photojournalist 3 reviews
Dianne Hagaman
Univ Pr of Kentucky, 1996
A Book That Should Be Better Known!
+ A Dangerous Book
I recently re-read this book after two years. It's still great. Hagaman's recounting of her exploratory and creative processes are detailed and really without parallel in the photographic literature. Few artists detail how they often move through images that may please others but that are cliched ...
