[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have recommended that students (and professors) read the following three books: "Photography Is A Language" by Whiting "Photographic Impact in Print" by Hurley & McDougall "Willie" by Ken Heyman There are many other classic books and texts available but the modern generation of students and professors do not seem to be aware of any of them. Best wishes, Mike I don't believe it! Someone else out there who has not only heard of, but obviously seen - and maybe even owns - Willie. Willie and Ken Heyman had an enormous influence on me, even if I wasn't aware of it at the time. Willie represents to me the best of what photography can be all about - documenting the every day, "meaningless," moments and events which make up the fabric of a people, a society, or of a single human life. I wonder what ever happened to Willie - did he die in Vietnam with The Beaver?;-) B. D. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
