If you're having trouble getting outside, this one has some good exercises and anecdotes. No pictures in this one, though.

>>3126365
Theres any way to download this?

>>3126405
Probably, but I haven't tried. I know it's not in Google play books.

Two examples I remember, while you wait for your Amazon order to come:

1. Focus your lens to the tip of your outstretched fingers. Tape the focus ring down. Shoot like this for an afternoon.

This one gets you surprisingly comfortable sticking your face into places.

2. Get one of those interval timers apps, and set it to go off every 60 seconds, with 10 second rests. Walk for the 60, take a single picture for the 10. Do this for a whole roll of film.

This one helped me practice composing a frame in my mind, and also helped me find interesting stuff in my neighborhood. It's almost like a game

Second this, I bought it prior to him carking it but this book has been selling faster than hot cakes since.

>>3125475
I have the second edition of Nguan's How Loneliness Goes and love it. It sorta deals with the idea that you are truly alone, no matter how many people live in your city, how many people you're friends with, or how much family you have.

Dan Winters - Road to Seeing is good.

this list sucks cocks.

get art books, not books talking about art. even the very artists talking about what they speculate makes their shit is good (they never nail it) is a waste of time.

>>3130052
It was not polished. When i opened a few like steal like an artist a fell that was a some kind of shitty best seller. But essays from authors like Sontag, Barthes, Berger are referenced in all talks about photography and college bibliographies. I dont know. I think is important.

This is a book about making art. Ordinary art. Ordinary art means something like: all art not made by Mozart. After all, art is rarely made by Mozart-like people; essentially—statistically speaking—there aren't any people like that.

Geniuses get made once-a-century or so, yet good art gets made all the time, so to equate the making of art with the workings of genius removes this intimately human activity to a strangely unreachable and unknowable place.

For all practical purposes making art can be examined in great detail without ever getting entangled in the very remote problems of genius.


This is not your typical self-help book. This is a book written by artists, for artists -— it's about what it feels like when artists sit down at their easel or keyboard, in their studio or performance space, trying to do the work they need to do.

fuck, bless you man!

I was using http://libgen.io/ and http://b-ok.org to search all the books but that one was not there.
thxx!

I'd like to read about color with color grading in mind. There's one book I saw in an article not long ago:

Color: A Course in Mastering the Art of Mixing Colors by Betty Edwards

Is there anything else you'd recommend?

>>3126420

I'll have to try those.

What I have been doing is slapping a prime lens on, picking a random direction, and start walking until I finish a roll of film.

Sometimes what I get is junk, but helped me to start visualuzing focal lengths before I put the viewfinder to my eye and has given me experience and a feel for my camera.
