Small Simple ElegantBy Stuart MurdochThe production values in this book are delightful; very minimal and spares but eminently readable as a consequence. The essay a short and perfunctory; some soulful and reflective others a tad abstract; Ive enjoyed most of them so far; still reading of course; but a nice little book to read in the small quiet times; when you arent in the moo for a bigger read or dont have the time. I am a little disappointed by the lack of depth in some of the essays; still few photographers are writers; Emmet Gowin being the exception in this book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

Photographs Not TakenBy BgraxNice concept and a good read. Journal of Delacroix; Vincent van Gogh The Letters; Edward Weston Daybooks and all of Anne Truitts books are good introspectives on what its like to be creative. This book is in the direction of the above mention titles and a great read for new photographers. (Just get past the politically bigoted first bit by Dave Anderson and the rest is quite good)
