Michael Yon Richard Vigilante Books, 2008 An Exceptional Account from Someone Who Spends LOTS of Time With the Troops Michael Yon is not a great writer, but you get to know the people about whom he writes better than what you see on the evening news.

I tried the beta version initially but decided to give another try of 1.3.1. This book really helps to bring the best out of LR. Even though I have PS CS3, I am ...             Master Lighting Guide for Portrait Photographers Christopher Grey Amherst Media, Inc., 2004 Visual learner To those with learning disabilities as myself, having suffered a stroke, that use visuals for their input, this book was excellent in all it's methodologies of teaching lighting techniques!

From this, we are ...             Kirby: King of Comics Mark Evanier Abrams, 2008 Kirby is king I ordered this book because Jack Kirby happens to be my favorite Marvel artist of all time.

Characters were either at most two dimensional, or pretty ...             The Photographer's Eye John Szarkowski The Museum of Modern Art, New York, 2007 Very enjoyable I bought this for my adult son who is an amateur photographer and he said it was a beautiful book that he read cover to cover and back again.

One of those books that you tend to read more slowly near the end, because you don't ...             Beneath The Roses Abrams, 2008 Small towns, large fantasies The first thing Russell Banks mentions in the book's introduction is the comparison between Crewdson's work and Hollywood. Not surprising of course because the photos are produced like the movies only here it's one shot at a time. Looking at the fascinating ...             My Last Supper: 50 Great Chefs and Their Final Meals / Portraits, Interviews, and Recipes Melanie Dunea Bloomsbury USA, 2007 GREAT BOOK AND GREAT CONVERSATION STARTER I enjoyed reading this book and looking at the photos. The photos are great of many great chefs. I enjoyed reading that many of the great chefs wanted simple meals from their youth as their last meal, not some fancy gourmet dish.
