This thread will run for four days (until Monday morning Ottawa time).

Please post your suggestions for the first book to be read by the new RFF Book Club. Remember that the field is wide open here. You may suggest books of photography or books about photography. The only condition is that the books should be reasonably easy to get a hold of.

If you want to include reasons for your suggestion, that might be helpful. But please refrain from expressing your support or opposition for another's choice. We'll save that for the voting thread which I will open on Monday morning.

OK, the floor is open!

(If you want to know more about the book club, please refer to THIS thread.)
 
Israël, 50 ans
par les photographes de Magnum
An excellent compilation of images from 1948 to 1997 about Israelian way of life and dramatic episodes.
From robert Cappa to Abbas..great stuff!


Sleeping with ghosts, Don McCullin (a classic!)
No commets about it..excellent collection of this great photojournalist!!
 
All the books on photography I read are long-since out-of-print. I just finished reading "Combat Camera Man" by Jerry J. Joswick, copyright 1961. Army Air Force combat photographer on B-24's in the European air wars, including the battles over Ploesti, Romania. Riveting. But I doubt we could all obtain a copy in short order, sorry.
 
"Associated Press Guide to Photojounalism". It's not as boring as it sounds and I found it at the library.

ps. welcome back Bill.
 
On Being a Photographer - David Hurn & Bill Jay

On Being a Photographer - David Hurn & Bill Jay

How about 'On being a photographer' - David Hurn & Bill Jay ( Lenswork Publishing).
 
Let´s pick a book that is easily available and not dedicated to one camera brand to start with!
