Each chapter concludes with exercises that define a specific assignment, an instructional goal and teaching suggestions. Four appendices expand on film processing, color photography, presentation methods and advanced techniques. The books graphic design makes for easy reading and reference, and the many color and black-and-white illustrations provide visual support for the concepts presented. Most of the illustrations are student work, although work by Atget, Stieglitz, Steichen, Muybridge, Lange and other important photographers are also presented. Strongly recommended for students, practitioners and teachers of photography.http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0871922835/sofa-20/ref=nosim
