Peak into the ambiance of surreal art through this wonderful read!
The Grand Trunk Road: A Passage Through India is a photographic journey in vivid color through the lifeline of India's past and present. The Grand Trunk Road is the axis of the Indian subcontinent's heavily populated and politically dominant North. Raghubir Singh's vibrant color photographs evoke the energies and contrasts of a modern journey along the road Singh terms "a living panorama of North India's people". No other road carries such a baggage of history; from the Taj Mahal and the Golden Temple to the ancient battle sites of the Mahabharata; from the Buddhists' sacred Bodh Gaya to the magnificent cities of Mogul and British India.

'I believe that the photographer's job is to cut a frame-sized slice out of the world around him so cleanly that if he were to put it back again, life and the world would continue to move without a stumble.' This lavish production of the finest black-and -white photographs taken by India's most distinguished photographer, Raghu Rai, proves once again that he is Mark at which all lensmen will shoot in vain.

The Art of Photography: A Personal Approach to Artistic Expression
by Bruce Barnbaum
Originally published in 1994 and first revised in 2010, The Art of Photography has sold well over 100,000 copies and has firmly established itself as the most readable, understandable, and complete textbook on photography. Featuring nearly 200 beautiful photographs in both black-and-white and color, as well as numerous charts, graphs, and tables, this book presents the world of photography to beginner, intermediate, and advanced photographers who seek to make a personal statement through the medium of photography.
Without talking down to anyone or talking over anyone's head, renowned photographer, teacher, and author Bruce Barnbaum presents how-to techniques for both traditional and digital approaches. In this newest edition of the book, Barnbaum has included many new images and has completely revised the text, with the particular focus on two crucial chapters covering digital photography: he revised a chapter covering the digital zone system, and includes a brand-new chapter on image adjustments using digital tools. There is also a new chapter discussing the concepts of "art versus technique" and "traditional versus digital" approaches to photography. Throughout the book, Barnbaum goes well beyond the technical, as he delves deeply into the philosophical, expressive, and creative aspects of photography so often avoided in other books.
