Psychologic, Not Photographic
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I think, more than being a photographic book, it is psychologic. It learns the reader or someone intersted in photography to be accurate and to look at the photographs as a text and read the photographs from a psychologic poin of view.
A fine study of how the photo captures attitudes
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
