Excellent Reading

I have not read many photography books lately but must say that I found this book to be very helpful in expanding my creativity. I started with black and white film photography 50 years ago and only recently moved to a digital camera. Bruce's book was a walk down memory lane for me and also instructional in digital photography, which I hoped it would be. I'm a little sorry I didn't buy a paper version.

Why to make a photograph, this is important.

I've been 'taking photographs' for 69 years. Prior to reading this book I did not know why. Well, when my mom died (I was 3) I inherited her camera and Book of Mormon. So I read the book and used the camera and then bought better equipment. But until I read this book I didn't really know why I was 'taking pictures.' Read the book and you will know too, it's good.

It probably was great once

Much of the author’s (authors?) political views are scattered throughout this book. I could have skipped his (their?j political opinion(s?). Other than that it’s a wealth of information. I’m a past film photographer and even I thought there was way too much traditional photography included. I actually skipped entire chapters because of it. I appreciate the thought and it wasn’t a total letdown because of all the other great information. Also much of the digital processing sections were already dated. There’s plenty that’s not so not a total loss. My first review was only 2 stars because of all the political statements but other than that and the dated sections it is worthy of 4 stars upon reflection.

Not Your Average Photography Book

This is simply a great photography book! It will make you look at your subjects, composition, lighting, and process in a whole new way. It will make you begin to see the whole creative process, from start to finish, before you ever trip the shutter. I really, really liked this book, and I am looking forward to his next release, "The Essence of Photography: Seeing and Creativity" Highly recommended!!

One of the best books of our time

This is a wonderful book about photography as art. The technical discussions are more suited for today than the classic Ansel Adams books. I learned from this book things I didn't get from others.

Insight, inspiration and motivation!

Arrived days earlier than expected! The book was not wrapped but flipping through the pages it seems new.At a glance, it looks like it’s going to be interesting read. If you’re looking for a “how to book” then this book is not for you. If you’re looking for a photographer’s work and insight as to the wondrous images he took then buy this book. I’m suffering from photographers block right now and this just maybe the inspiration I need.

Very nice

haven't finished reading it yet, but so far it has been an interesting read. The subjects are very interesting and new contexts are presented. I recommend
