David Harvey has really walked the walk on being a photojournalist, spanning a long career. His book is a simple collection of tips (the key word here being simple). Don't expect anything technical about cameras, lenses or lighting. These tips are VERY basic and really meant for the absolute beginner.One philosophy of his I agree with is it's the person behind the camera that takes the good picture, not the camera itself. Like David, I've lugged a ton of photographic equipment all over the world. Now I stick with a simple digital camera, and even more times than not just the camera in my smartphone, seeing even they can produce some amazing quality pictures now. Ya gotta love technology.If you're a total newbie to photography you will find his tips helpful. If you're an expereinced photographer, well you probably wouldn't be reading this book anyway. For the low price it's worth it if you can pick up a couple tips to improve your photos or even give you some ideas how to become a better photographer.
