Book recommendation
Hi,
A while ago, someone recommended Barry Thornton's book "Edge of Darkness". I'd just like to say a big thank you to whoever that recommendation came from. After I first picked it up and started reading, I didn't want to put it down, even though I had to for work :-(. It describes, in a very personal way, how over many years he learnt, adapted and built on existing photographic techniques, to find a way of working that suited him. I found it to be a great read. I'm sure many of the visitors here would enjoy it, even if you already know and understand the technical content (which I don't) or if you don't go along with his aims and conclusions. -- Cheers Phil Hobgen, Southampton, UK ------------------------------------------- for email please delete the dash and take out the trash |

Hi,
Thank you for this information. I agree about the value of "Edge of Darkness." Along similar lines, I would like to recommend "Larry Barlett's Black and White" - a great book detailing Larry Barlett's printing techniques.
