I thought it well written and intelligent, and refreshing to read a book aimed at people who already know the technical side, and are mroe concerned withe the 'why' rather than the 'how'.Andy Marlandhttp://thevoicefromthenorth.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27557058.post-14696777521845644942011-02-14T15:06:48.715-07:002011-02-14T15:06:48.715-07:00I wanted to stop by and thank you for putting toge...I wanted to stop by and thank you for putting together 'Why Photographs Work'. As someone who has done his share of reading and pondering the technical side of photography, it is a perfect book to ease me into actually looking and thinging about photographs (something I need to do a lot more of). I find it tough to pick a single photographer's work and your book has a number of things going for it:<br /><br />1. A variety of works from current photographers. I like that you covered many genres and styles.<br />2. You can just look at the photos! They are nicely presented in a large size.<br />3. I like the combination of both your view and the photographers'. Your view seems very honest - not written with the hindsight of the photographer's view.<br /><br />For some reason your book marked an "a-ha" moment for me - I finally see that why a photo <i>works</i> is often different than why the photo was taken.<br /><br />Thanks from a fellow Calgarian!Brad Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16469774713190868190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27557058.post-85855489540774498632011-01-16T02:18:11.822-07:002011-01-16T02:18:11.822-07:00George,

I feel as if any and all of the content speaks to me and that I connect with it on a level that is both intellectual and emotional at the same time. Not many books have that effect on me.<br /><br />Thank you.<br /><br />Peter Mpjshutterbughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06032954455411974286noreply@blogger.com
