Portraits 50 reviews Steve McCurry
Phaidon Press, 1999
The piercing eyes of humans
+ Beautiful + The Power of Color Portraits
What a beautiful tribute to mankind. In everyone's face there is a story. And I'm sure no one can forget the eyes of that sad and pensive-looking young girl from Afghanistan. I chose my favorites and titled them. This book, although small, is a perfect table book. As you leaf through it, you ...

Serengeti: Natural Order on the African Plain 8 reviews
Chronicle Books, 1987
Wildlife and nature photography at its best!
+ Circle of Life in East Africa Documented in Stunning Photographs + Excellent choice if you're going or have gone...
These images bring the Serengeti to you. This being largely a pictoral tour of the Serengeti, words do it little justice. If you are an intelligent animal lover with a pulse, you will pay twice the cover price for this book.

Great Adventure Photography
This is a very good DVD right in line with The Photographers DVD. If you enjoy photography this is a nice DVD in that it covers some of how the images where captured. but also nice for anyone. The spots are a bit short. Quality video as always from National Geographic.
