Great book. I was looking for my copy yesterday but couldn't find it. Just recommended it to another list member and she ordered a copy. Every photog should read it - it's that good!
One of the little bits I especially liked, considering all the talk here about what constitutes a "professional" camera, was David Hurn's choice for a 35mm SLR. His choice for a 6x6 was almost as interesting ;-)) Shel > [Original Message] > From: David Mann > I just read "On Being a Photographer" as recommended by several > people here recently.
