Hornby G. Photographing America: Know the Land and the People Through Photography

Crown Publishers, 1976. — 264 p.Throughout the book, you will find specific capsules of photographic data that, taken together with the pictures themselves, give a short course in personal photography. Remember that many of the pictures here are the work of serious amateur photographers. Not only are these good technically, but they have special qualities of spontaneity, humor, and storytelling. Many others are by the finest of professionals — these give you pictures to treasure and targets to shoot for. And also remember that one of the best ways to learn to make good pictures is to look at good pictures.
