I hit a wall with my photography and I never felt pleased with any of my shots and I just didn't seem to be enjoying it anymore. I felt like selling all my gear to go buy a guitar and start singing the blues. Freeman taught me a very valuable lesson. The reason I wasn't enjoying it was because I had my mind on other things and I wasn't focused. On reading that, my blues lifted and I couldn't wait to go out shooting again. This book will inspire you to try new things and teach you how to express yourself.

I was getting tired of looking at photo books that just talked about the technical aspects of the camera. I was looking for something that would tell me how to look through the camera better, to help me think about where I should be when setting up a picture.

This book got me started on that. I was still left with plenty of follow-up questions- and I wish I was at one of their workshops, but it has given me enough to think more critically about my pictures.

I just started reading "Photographing the World around you" and it looks promising...

You will find many interesting concepts over photography. Has a lot of beautiful photos that are used to emphasize the teaching.

This book on photography is timeless. I loved the beautiful, creative pictures and short discussions that were included.
