Ted, I have the DVD as you know. Way cool! Women in Medicine is still in
transit via slow boat I think! I promise to read carefully and ask questions
from the living photographer as soon as it arrives. Just let us know when
the next book is ready!

Cheers

Geezee,

 you guys are getting me all fired up to get on with my next book about just
being a reasonably successful photographer! :-)

"See it, Feel it, Shoot it!"  Seems like that might beat the original book
title of  "Real Photographers shoot B&W. Sometimes colour!" :-)

 

Hey everybody who purchased a copy of "Doctor's Work." or "Women in Medicine
" learned more about photography through the "Photographers " Supplement."
than all the boring type of note books  of the dead guys in the world!

Besides, one can read "Photographers Supplement" then discuss the situation
with the still living photographer for live answers! :-) Don't you think
that might be an incentive to buy the photographer's book? Or DVD?

If you want to think about photography, and are interested in nature

photography with 35mm, I would suggest Galen Rowell's books, especially

"Inner Game of Outdoor Photography", a collection of very readable essays.

Cheers
