I learned everything I needed to know to get started in photography in this book...it is the most indepth book on the subject I have ever found....and I learn something new, every time I pick it up.

what I really like about it is it has photo representations of all theories - I dunno about you, but I digest more from visual examples over (yawn) soley written text, opinions....

I believe it may have been my brother's, I have had it forever. ...no you can't borrow it....try ebay.

    I just ordered a copy on Amazon.com for one Cent! I did have to pay $3.99 shipping. For that price it could be crap for all I care. If Peggy recommends it, I'm in.

    Treated gently with gloved fingers this treasure must be valuable.
