David Elliot Cohen

Sterling, 2008

The Still Image Still Matters
This book is a testament to a simple truth: the still photograph still matters. The stories here are carefully chosen to give the reader an intimate and truthful look at the most pressing issues of our time. The accompanying writing both complements and extends the story-telling ability of these images and the essays are excellent across the board, from Pulitzer-Prize winning author Samantha ...

Moments in Time: Photos and Stories from One of America's Top Photojournalists

Dirck Halstead

"Harry N. Abrams, Inc.", 2006

Look over his Halstead's shoulder through nearly a half century of world history
Over the course of a long airline flight, I picked up Halstead's book and found myself unable to put it down through three cross-country legs (even through the obligatory bit about putting everything away and raising tray tables... but I digress). Far more than the tale of a photographer's look through the lens over the course of several decades, this book provides insights, commentary and ...

Danger Pay: Memoir of a Photojournalist in the Middle East, 1984-1994 (Focus on American History Series, ...
Carol Spencer Mitchell

University of Texas Press, 2008

"You're going where?" Carol Spencer Mitchell's father demanded as she set off in 1984 to cover the Middle East as a photojournalist for Newsweek and other publications. In this intensely thoughtful memoir, Spencer Mitchell probes the motivations that impelled her, a single, Jewish woman, to document the turmoil roiling the Arab world in the 1980s and 1990s, as well as how her experiences as a photojournalist "compelled [me] to set aside [my] ...

How I Learned Not to Be a Photojournalist

Dianne Hagaman

University Press of Kentucky, 1996

A Book That Should Be Better Known!
I recently re-read this book after two years. It's still great. Hagaman's recounting of her exploratory and creative processes are detailed and really without parallel in the photographic literature. Few artists detail how they often move through images that may please others but that are cliched and unsatisfying to the artist themselves, and their search for something better through ...

Que, 1996

An incredibly predictive web description!
This is the first book I did purchase thru Amazon. And, I must confess, this book is the perfect selection to anyone interested in "feeling" what the web means today all over the world. It's indeed extraordinary, too, that all the wonderful pictures that are included in it were taken IN THE VERY SAME DAY in a period of just 24 hours. Moreover, that day the pics were being published almost in real ...

Tribe of Women: A Photojournalist Chronicles the Lives of Her Sisters Around the Globe

New World Library, 2001

Great Idea of Universal Importance for Understanding Mankind
Tribe of Women is a compendium; along the lines of a project which I had pitched to Garage.com founder, Ann Winblad and Anita Borg, now at Santa Clara, for a new "WEB" based mythographic-history, which would start out at Olompali, in Marin, and then move through time and geography within the scope of FIVE GIRLS who would daydream in school while heering of the Gold Rush in a reading of ...

Unembedded: Four Independent Photojournalists on the War in Iraq

Thorne Anderson, Ghaith Abdul-Ahad, ...

Chelsea Green Publishing Company, 2005

A story of Iraqis under US occupation.
It shows the heart and soul of Iraqis. It shows what they are going through during the US invasion and occupation. Though shot by mostly US photographers, it shows from the Iraqi standpoint. Some of the pictures are disturbing but after all it is the depiction of war and WAR is not a pretty site. Kudos to the worthy photographers who put their life in danger to show the whole world an unembedded ...

Corner of the Dead

Lynn Lurie

Univ. of Massachusetts Press, 2008

Deeply passionate, intense read
The Corner of the Dead is a deeply intense and emotional read. From the start, the story grabs you and won't let go. You feel the pain and sorrow throughout the novel and brings you right into this dark world. You will not put this book down and then will read it again to make sure you got all of the details. Very good read.

Iraq: Eyewitness to War - A Photojournalist's Diary

Robert J. Galbraith, 2004

The truth about war, from the street, and unbiased
This book is a remarkable collection of photographs taken in places where the media have not been, or things that they were trying to hide from the public. Quite literally, it allows me to find an unbiased experience of what war really meant in Iraq, and it is a superb volume to use for teaching as well. Thumbs up!

Thanks for the Memories!
Great book, well written and riveting the end is a cliff hanger. I can only hope there is sequel. It brought back memories of my own time in the Navy as a Photographers Mate.

Collins Pub San Francisco, 1995

True to Life Photography
This collection of large photographs of the people and places in Italy is absolutely stunning. The photos include not only the popular landmarks but also the people, their families, and is able to portray more than just the "touristy" part of Italy. It is a shame that it is out of print! It is the perfect "coffee table" book!

Michael Sedge

Allworth Press, 2000

Egh...
A suggestion to photojournalists looking to make money: based on the axiom that a penny saved is a penny earned, don't waste your money on this book. Everything you stand to learn from Mr. Sedge you should already know. If you want applicable advice to help grow a photography business, look at "Best Business Practices for Photographers" by John Harrington.
