Hi, > What would the other two be? Is OBAP one of them?
yes it is. I'm not sure about the 3rd though. A few years ago when I started getting back into photography in a big way I found Nevada Weir's "Adventure Travel Photography" very helpful, although it's not in the same league as OBAP or Kobre. "Photojournalist" with Mary Ellen Mark and Annie Leibovitz, and the Elliott Erwitt one in the 'Masters of Contemporary Photography' series were very helpful to me back in the late 70s/early 80s. "Visual Anthropology" by John & Malcolm Collier is very good, but probably a bit too anthropological for most photographers. "Truth needs no ally" by Howard Chapnick, and "Witness of our time" by Ken Light are also outstanding. Most of these are less technical than Kobre's book, but the essence of them all is that working photographers who do the kind of thing that I aspire to are talking about their methods and techniques, and the problems they encounter in the field. It's probably summed up by Hurn in OBAP who says one of the most important pieces of photographic equipment is a good pair of shoes, an obversation I entirely endorse. --- Bob mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Saturday, May 11, 2002, 4:26:52 AM, you wrote: > What would the other two be?
