Photography Books

[boxel0]

Hello all,
I would like to get some books on photography
Not just learning photography !
But books on other peoples work !

So i want to ask, whats in your book shelf?

[Elmo]

Are you leaning toward any specific type of photography?
Landscape
General Nature
Wildlife
Macro
Street
And on an on

Most books only contain one general type

I might suggest going to the library and look through what they have

My absolute, all-time favorite book is "Visual Poetry" by Chris Orwig. I love, love, LOVE this book!!!
It teaches more about the emotional side of photography, than the technical side of things.
It is a really great book, I've learned so much from it, and continue to learn every time I read it.
It's a bit on the expensive side, but worth every penny.
There are also assignments in it, and a flickr group (and website) to share your results. It's a lot of fun.
