Photography is my Passion

The Abrams Encyclopedia of Photography is a fascinating book that traces the beginnings of Photography up to the present Digital age. The photos are very interesting and the explanations of the techniques churns one's creative impulses. The different forms of Photography explored such as fashion, photo journalism, etc. may possibly open up new avenues to the Photographer. I would recommend this book to those who's hobby is Photography, the professional, and those who just like to increase their knowledge.
