Paul Gauguin (Paris; 1848 ndash; Atuona; Iles Marquises 1903)Paul Gauguin fut tout dabord marin puis agent de change eacute;meacute;rite agrave; Paris.

Lomography konstructor ; la sardina and other toy cameras.are left out. Hopefully the author will.address them in a later edition0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. An interesting introduction to whet an appetite. Could use more technique.By CustomerThis is a nice overview to a nifty range of cameras that are on the fringes of modern photography. It shows whats special about each camera and familiarizes the reader with general operations. What I wish could have been included was more of the photographic techniques of what is now called "lomography;" like the famous 10 rules. However; it partially made up for this by giving links to helpful web sites. Plus its a nice buyers guide to finding the camera that appeals to the individual.As of this writing; its a bit pricey in my opinion. But Im glad I made this purchase. It truly taught me quite a few useful things.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Nice book!By InaVery interesting and beautiful book. Nice and informative!
