It could be said that the book has nothing to do with photography. It could be said that the book has everything to do with photography. It is such a classic that even Actors don't read it. But it is very readable. It is a series of story like situations by the guy who revolutionized a whole craft the way few have been revolutionized before. A true Genius. A good role model for me as I have his Birthday. 1/17 I tell "all" my friends to read this book. To my knowledge none have done so. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.
