Book Review: The Plain by Melanie Friend

In other words, I do not think you can do much wrong when photographing open landscapes. Such was my take after a first and rather casual look

Book Review: Women Street Photographers Edited by Gulnara Samoilova
When thinking of street photography, Vivian Maier comes to mind, and Lisa Kahane. And then, all of a sudden, I ask myself: What the hell is a street photographer? Do they photograph only streets? Do they photograph only what can be seen when standing on a street? Melissa Breyer quotes in her introduction the Encyclopedia
