Review
"If you want to put every minute to good use, consider listening to the audiotape 100 Minutes to Better Photography as you drive or jog." -- Popular Photography May 92
"Julian Padowicz delivers the promise of the subtitle, 'A Basic Instructional Program Leading to Advanced Amateur.' Beginners will improve photographs as they listen to Padowicz's well-organized explanation of topics ranging from learning about exposure control and film and shutter speeds to working with shadows and using filters." -- Booklist 15 June 92
"There is some very worthwhile information and it is presented in a very logical manner by the author who is an experienced photographer and is a complete course on the subject. Although the title indicates it is basic, much of the material can be of interest to the more advanced photographer.....suffice to say just about every item that is worthwhile is covered." -- PSA Journal April 92

From the Author
The most common question I receive is, why I would want to teach so visual a subject through a non-visual medium, and I give two reasons. The first is the convenience of the audio medium. People can listen to it while they drive to work or, even, travelling on vacation. The second reason is that audio isn't really a non-visual medium. If you can present the material in visual enough terms, the mind will construct its own mental images. And the images that the mind has worked to construct, are much easier to understand and retain.
There is also a third, more personal reason - people said that it couldn't be done. Well, several serious magazine reviewers and editors, as well as many photography instructors who now recommend this audio book to their students, agree that I accomplished what I set out to do, and I admit to being smugly pleased.

Recommended book all beginner to intermediate photographers,

This review is from: 100 Minutes to Better Photography (Audio Cassette)
This is a great book for beginner to intermediate photographers. Mr Padowicz has a clear voice and he speaks at a nice slow pace that is easy to understand. It is so much easier to just listen to a book which emphasizes the important stuff than it is to try to figure out all of this stuff from reading a book where it is a lot more difficult to separate the important stuff from the esxtraneous stuff. I listened to it while driving to work. Then I practiced the principles taught in the book. It helped me to become a much better photogapher. Now I am able to make efficient use of aperture/shutter/manual modes, light meters, external flash, exposure compensation etc.
