Very good book of photos, 2007-09-13
by David Brant (Minneapolis, MN United States)
I had heard that this book was not highly recommended, but what the heck, it was $14.00 and free shipping from Amazon.
The cover photo, also displayed inside, is beautiful, as are all the other photos in the book. Some are not my cup of tea, but a lot of them are, and Joe Cornish has proven his mastery of light and the landscape photograph.
I found the book somewhat instructional because the images gave me ideas for my own work, and the text isn't preachy or anything. All in all, a very good buy!
