- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos OK to edit
I enjoy reading mostly non-fiction on nearly any topic, but since I have just been into some books on photography, I thought it might be fun to share with each other what we are reading lately.
I just finished "The photographer's Eye" by Michael Freeman. I enjoyed it so much that I immediately began reading it a second time. Excellent writing, illustrations, examples, and thought process. Less than exemplary editing, but that is their business, not mine.
Currently I am reading "Photography Your Way" - A Career Guide to Satisfaction and Success, by Chuck DeLaney. This was published in 2000, so some parts of it are quaintly outdated, but there is a wealth of information that remains current, or that will probably never be outdated. For instance; the author gives his advice on building a business that can easily be translated to be relevant to building nearly any business, not just that of photography. It is very well written, and I have noticed only one typo so far.
As for other photography books, I read "Nikon Speedlight Handbook" by Stephanie Zettl. This one can be used as a reference, and so I have consulted it several times whenever I have a question for which I need a refresher.
My other interests include architecture, politics, social studies, yoga, and more. I keep up with current events by reading a semi-monthly news and commentary magazine (not the one you think), websites, and of course, TPF.
