To the list of John Updikersquo;s well-intentioned protagonistsmdash;Rabbit Angstrom; George Caldwell; Piet Hanema; Henry Bechmdash;add James Buchanan; seen above as a young Congressman in the 1820rsquo;s; and on the front cover as the harried fifteenth President of the United States (1857-1861). In a play meant to be read; Buchananrsquo;s political and private lives are represented as aspects of his spiritual life; whose crowning; condensing act is the act of dying. A wide-ranging Afterword rounds out the dramatic portrait of one of Americarsquo;s lesser known; and least appreciated; leaders.

I found the book taxing and over explanatory about issues not really related to shooting photos.. a bore... going to the extreme. With no information about taking pictures or the art of it.All of the sample photos in the book are 2nd rate images done by people who should be working in a pro camera shop. as in "you cant make a living as a photographer. so go tell people you know Everything about photography".Tech knowledge DOES NOT give you artistic "Eye".0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

Good reference bookBy BrentwoodwallaI am a novice photographer and it was not easy to understand and easy to use for me. It may be a good book for people with more experience than me.
