Photo Idea Index: Things [Book Review]

Lee Frost’s Landscape Photography [Book Review]
Possibly the most photographed subject but likely to be the least understood in the photographer’s output is landscapes. As author Frost candidly admits, his early efforts at landscape photography “left a lot to be desired” but a change in his home environment left him inspired by the unfamiliarity of new surroundings.” The book’s early chapters deal with [...]
