A little background story:
I am a man of routine. Every Sunday, I first go to church, then to the grocery store. And I go there the same time, go through the same isles, get the same things; have been doing that since I moved to the area 3 1/2 years ago.
And I always get the same cashier! This woman has been working for the company for 26 years, so she get to know the regulars. Well, about a month ago, I picked a copy of Popular Photography and as she was checking my items out, she said "are you a photographer?" and I responded that yes, I am a very rank amateur, but I am determined to someday to make it a part time career.
She responded that one of her relatives owned a photography store that went out of business in 1999; would I be interested in books from that store?
Of course! I want to devour as much information as I can!
So a month passed, her shift must have changed because I never saw her. Then today, she was there and presented me with the first box of books of photography lessons and techniques. THE FIRST BOX. Next week looks to be more.
As you can surmise, I am thrilled that someone just handed me a box of books that would take me a few years to purchase...adding up the msrp's on the books, they came to $509.95! WOW! Heres the rundown:
-The field guide to: photographing flowers (yes!)
-The field guide to: photographing gardens (yes!)
-Photographing your way-A career guide to satisfaction and success.
-Better picture guide to: vacation and holiday photography.
-Better picture guide to: photographing nudes.
-Better picture guide to: photographing colour, composition and harmony.
-Better picture guide to: flower and garden photography (yes!).
-Better picture guide to: portrait photography.
-Professional photography - photographing weddings.
-Creative exposure control - How to get the exposure you want every time.
-The photographer's assistant - Learn the secrets (very excited about this one)
-Studio Photography - essential skills.
-Pro Lighting - Provocative shots.
-Special occasions photography.
-Black and white photography masterclass.
-American Vision - Images of todays best amateur nature photographers.
-Perfect exposure - From theory to practice.
-View camera (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/View_camera) technique. (this looks really interesting!)
-The Nude - Complete photography course.
-The digital darkroom - B/W techniques using Photoshop.
Curiously, all the books are dated 1999.
