I Need Your Help!

A fellow photographer mentioned to me the other day that there did not seem to be a good resource online where one could go and read reviews on photography books.  Sure, there’s the canned ones from Amazon, Borders, Barnes and Noble, etc., but nothing that was out there just for photography books!

I started searching and sure enough – she was right!  So, as a sort of philanthropic venture, I decided to create a website for this purpose.  While the design is a work in progress (we all know about WIP’s, right?). but the site is live and the forums are ready for people to start contributing their own reviews on any number of photography books.  I’ve tried to break the categories out in a hopefully logical structure, so take a peek, register (it’s free) and start sharing your own thoughts about books from your own library!

Who knows – in time, this could become a pretty exhaustive library of reviews, and discussions on the state of the photography book industry!  To do it though, I need your help, so take a moment and register today!  Happy reading!

What I’m Reading

Reading material is a gold mine, not only for inspiration, but for education.  The field of photography is one where you can never know everything there is to know, and there will always be people who see things differently that you can learn from and gain insights and inspiration.  For that reason, I am always reading something.  Here’s a portion of my reading list lately in the hopes that you can find some insights and inspirations too!
