I don’t often recommend books, I have hundreds and while I’ve enjoyed them all, I find that over time they seldom add a great deal to my approach to the art! \u00a0Today I purchased one though (for my iPad), that I can give a resounding recommendation to. \u00a0Bruce Barnbaum has been one of my favorite Black & White photographers for many years, his work is right up there with Ansel Adams, and John Sexton. \u00a0His new book; \u00a0The Art of Photography: An Approach to Personal Expressio<\/strong>n\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/span>is a foundational work in learning to see and interpret your world. \u00a0In Bruce’s book he reveals some of the most important concepts to help you and I grasp what we see, why we enterpret the way we do, and how to convery it to others in the final image or print. \u00a0 The wonderful Black & White examples alone are worth the price of the book. \u00a0Here is a link to order the book and explore Bruce’s work! \u00a0The Photoshop processing tips are also well worth the price. \u00a0This book has been reprinted many times, and for good reason……..<\/p>\n

Just for the record I love all of Tony Sweet’s books as well, and one that has been long discontinued but can be found on Amazon: \u00a0Developing the Creative Edge in Photography by Bert Eifer.<\/p>\n
