Recommended Reading--For those that would rather turn a page than click a mouse
I am completely self taught when it comes to my photography. A very large portion of my education came from reading. I have compiled a list of books that have been instrumental in my development as a photographer. If you are just getting started in photography, or just would like to hone your skills, I think these books will be a great help.
