I also can recomend two books: -Photography speaks This one presents the words of 150 photographers, from the early pioneers to almost the present day. I am using quotes form this book to star discussions about some photos. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1931788502/qid=1130083653/sr=8-1/ref=pd_bbs_1/103-9306570-8102240?v=glance&s=books&n=507846 - Andrey Tarkovsky: Sculpting in Time : Reflections on the Cinema (Paperback) This one is about cinema, but Tarkovsly speaks in a very clear way on the way he builds his films that it is a fantastic experience in learning. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0292776241/qid=1130083832/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/103-9306570-8102240?v=glance&s=books Mário Pires http://www.retorta.net ________________________________ De: owner-photoforum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx em nome de Cap'n Jimmy Enviada: dom 23-10-2005 16H35m Para: List for Photo/Imaging Educators - Professionals - Students Assunto: Re: classes?

Marilyn, If you intend to explore the thinking of photographers who have written out their thoughts of how they make pictures, you might want to see if you can get a copy of the British photographer Heather Angel's book *Photographing the Natural World* (Sterling Publishing Company, New York, 1994, ISBN 0-8069-0714-2). The Introduction, *Seeing the Picture*, is a wonderful look into the mindful process of making a picture. Heather is a long time favourite of mine and even though she's primarily a nature photographer, her thoughts are universal. Jim Baja Oregon
