The Digital Photography Book, Volume 2
Scott Kelby
Peachpit Press, 2008
Useful advice when you want to SHOOT not READ
Instead of struggling to bridge the theory of photography to practice, Mr. Kelby just jumps in with examples and says, "here's the picture, here's how I got the picture."
While his humor is..quirky, the advice was easy to follow and opened up things to me that had ...

Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood
Marjane Satrapi
Pantheon, 2004
Awesome Experience
Although this book is written like a comic book, don't take it lightly. The story is a deep and meaningful one. It is a pretty fast read but not as fast as you'd think...I highly recommend it!

Martin Evening
Adobe Press, 2008
First Across the Finish Line

Macbeth (Folger Shakespeare Library)
William Shakespeare
Washington Square Press, 2003
Yale's may be the best edition of Macbeth
Virtually all editions of Macbeth will have at least some annotations. Rummaging through five different editions, I preferred the Yale University Press version, edited by Burton Raffel, as having the most comprehensive and comprehensible notes, as well as an excellent ...

Washington Square Press, 2003
If you want to read Shakespeare its has to be The new folger Library

Understanding Exposure: How to Shoot Great Photographs with a Film or Digital Camera (Updated Edition)
Bryan Peterson
Amphoto Books, 2004
Just Buy It
One of the most common misconceptions around is that by buying the most recent and most hitech photography gear one can come up with extra-ordinary exposures.
This book has showed me otherwise. Too often amateurs like me get caught up with the jargon that we simply ...

Understanding Shutter Speed: Creative Action and Low-Light Photography Beyond 1/125 Second
Bryan Peterson
Amphoto Books, 2008
Leaving the intellectual muddle out of it, this is a book you'll want to own as a glorious idea generator
When I first looked at "Understanding Shutter Speed" by Bryan Peterson on Amazon I wondered how shutter speed, only one of the components of an exposure, made up a book. In fact, there are some organizational problems that are caused by choosing this particular slice ...
