I imagine a number of other people will recommend this, but here goes: "On Being a Photographer" by David Hurn and Peter Jay. There are no photos in it.
If you'd like to like at a book of photos, I would suggest Magnum Stories. It's too big, of course, but it is a collection of essays and writings about those essays by Magnum photographers through the years. It includes contact prints and so on, so you get a feel for how the photographer was thinking. -- Cheers, Bob > -----Original Message----- > From: David Savage [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 09 April 2006 16:15 > To: PDML > Subject: OT: Seeking Book Recommendations > > G'day All, > > OK, if you were to recommend just 2 books on or about > photography, preferably not technical I have enough of > those, which would they be. > Street, landscape, whatever, it doesn't matter, I like them all. > > The reason I'm asking is I'm I've been in a bit of a photo > funk lately, and I need some inspiration.
