Words Without Pictures
What a wonderful way to enjoy a lazy summer Sunday with a fine book/magazine and an ice cold beer out in the yard!
I’ve yet to finish “Words Without Pictures” but it is highly recommended. The book covers a wide range of contemporary photography topics in a very informal and online-forum-like style. Each chapter starts with an essay or discussion on a particular topic followed by “audience’ response and Q&A sections (which is not necessarily related to the chapter topic).
I found the overall tone to be refreshing and largely avoids the heavy verbiage associated with photography discourse.
Kirin Beer is golden – brewed for good times indeed!
