Photography is far more than lenses, f/stops, glass, filters, and shutter speed. In the many years I've been doing amateur photography, I've come to the place of realizing that the bulk of making a great photo takes place in the photographer's head long before the finger snaps the shutter. Since most photo books cover all of the technical elements of the hobby (or profession), I was happy to buy a copy of this book - because it talks more about the process that goes on inside the head, not in the camera.I really liked the author's philosophy about photography and appreciate his comments and questions on WHY we photograph the things we do - - that question alone will help me as I look through the viewfinder, deciding what I want to shoot. I'm sure that asking the WHY is going to guide me to better shots.Very nicely done, highly recommended.
