Recommend me some books.

Not the beginner stuff, but something that will change the way I see the world through my eyes.

I want to relearn how to see.

This is a great mix of hipster porn and alarming art. My favorite photo book by far.

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

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.

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.

Saw this the other day. It's your typical "make art not gear" book, with good guidelines and examples in a small package that won't have you bored in 5 minutes (because you'll be finished the book by then).

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.

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.

Quoted By:

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.

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.
