I carry a belief that an awareness of the works of past photographers is just as important as technical knowledge needed to make great photographs. What I am sharing here is the list of photography books that I have on my bookshelf that I study from time to time. I imagine that in due time I'll start writing some reviews of my own for each one. Until then, the cover image of each book links to its respective Amazon.com page.

I remember flipping through a copy of Anonymous. Some odd but brilliant stuff in there.
I have a feeling I'm going to be getting a copy for myself soon.
