A fascinating portrait of the Standard Oil heirerss and legendary American trendsetter Millicent RogersNobody knew how to live the high life like Millicent Rogers. Born into luxury; she lived in a whirl of beautiful homes; European vacations; exquisite clothing and handsome men. In Searching for Beauty; Cherie Burns chronicles Rogerss glittering life from her days as a young girl afflicted with rheumatic fever to her debutante debut and her Taos finale. A rebellious icon of the age; she eloped with a penniless baron; danced tangos in European nightclubs; divorced; remarried and romanced; among others; Clark Gable. Her romantic conquests; though; paled in comparison to her triumph in the fashion world where she electrified the fashionistas by becoming the muse to designer Charles James; appearing in Vogue and Harpers Bazaar and - at the end of her life - retreating to Taos; New Mexico where she popularized Southwestern style. With Searching for Beauty; Millicent Rogers enters the pantheon of great American women who; like Diana Vreeland and Babe Paley; put their distinctive stamp on American Style.

A must have and a must readBy David MedinaI just got "Wedding Photography from the heart" by Joe Buissink and Skip Cohen yesterday and I cant put it down. Is like having a personal conversation with them. It gives you an inside look at how Joe Buissink works but not with the purpose that the reader will imitate him but that he/she will develop their God given talent and take it to the next level. True to its purpose. It has challenged me to go out there a shoot with intent. To shoot from the heart more. To lear to see instead of just looking.Among many recipe books. it is refreshing a book that really help you go deeper into your "inner photographer" so you outer one becomes better. I know that this is a book I will have to read many time to get it all.If you are a professional photographer I highly recommend it as one book that should be in your library and read often.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

Beautiful. timeless. and a great guideBy J. MiearsI just received my book two nights ago. and sat down and read the entire book in one night! This book has some stunning photos. and contains great information and tips for photographers who want to capture the most beautiful and intimate moments of a wedding. Joes advice is practical and uncomplicated. which I love. Everything from lighting to equipment to how to gain your clients trust and capture people in their natural states is included in this book. which is truly an enjoyable book to read. It isnt too heavy on jargon/technique and is easy to navigate through to find the topics you are most interested in. Im very happy I purchased this book and send my congrats to Joe on a job very well done - as always! I continue to be a raving fan!
