5 out of 5 stars For the aspiring pro from the top   October 30, 2007
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

The introduction is long but sets up the credibility of the two main people and their background. Basically two professionals at the very highest level of the game discuss some useful concepts that I have not seen elsewhere.

I was immensely disappointed by this book. It seemed to promise so much depth and insight. It is structured as a conversation/interview between two knowledgeable photographers; but we quickly discover that one is an unashamed acolyte of the other. The text quickly degenerates into a fawning, vacuous, name-dropping style to which the authors are apparently habituated. There's no information, no insight, no inspiration and no intellectual courage. I burnt it.


5 out of 5 stars For those who love photogrpahy   September 26, 2005

This is written for lovers of photography. Not only does it discuss the romance of camera and film, it has good information, it is motivating and it reminds those of us who have developer, stop and fix in our veins why we fell in love with the art.

Motivating, educational and a good read. Don't miss this one.



5 out of 5 stars "Must Have" Book   June 12, 2004
 13 out of 16 found this review helpful

This book is a "must have" for anyone who is serious about becoming/being a photographer. The majority of the discussion relates to the creative process, with a small amount of discussion of equipment and technique. I bought my copy (third edition) direct from LensWork for US $12.95.

Why is JetstreamBooks selling it used for $25.00???? Buy it brand new from LensWork Publishing for $12.95 plus $4 shipping and handling. Go to www.lenswork.com. Just thought you`d like to save some money. Most of us do not like being ripped off.
