"The Genius of Photography"

One thing about having limited mobility it gives you the opportunity for lots of reading and studying other images. Read through "The Genius of Photography" {Gerry Badger Quadrille Publishing 2007} three times and, as always, found something 'new' each time.

The Sunday Times reviewer wrote: An excellent primer and leads us through the complexities of understanding what makes a great image... Badger's book lays out the debates in a clear, authoritative way". Could not have put it better myself! I would recommend this book to anyone who is serious about photography and who wants some insight into what has gone before. Flick to any page and you are presented with an image that makes you think not only about the technical but also the social background.
