THE PHOTO BOOK

Now for me theres a little story behind this one. I got this book when I was in year 10 at school, so whats that about 14 years old. I won the maths effort prize, as with all my prizes unless they where for art it was always effort, I could ent really get anything better for maths considering I was in set 5! Right well anyway as I won this prize I got money to spend on a book of my choice, now I m pretty sure they wanted me to get some maths involved book to maybe get me a bit better as I am truely awful at maths, but instead I bought this, best choice I ever made....I love this book, it has some fasinating photography in it and it never gets boring to look at.The Photo Book
This book contains images from David Bailey to Eadweard Mybridge. As the famous saying says 'A photo says 1000 words.' This book proves this. Each and every one of the photographs in this book tells more than 1000 words, each one has its own story behind, wether that be a simple everyday story or one that effects on a much larger scale.
These book demonstrates how photography can simply demonstate every day lifes and capture a moment that can never be captured again. I shows how images can provoke such emotions within people, and intamicy with the viewer. I also allowed me to learn about many of the photographers out there.
If you want a book full of fantastic images this is a book to get. It shows a vast amount of photographers involving some of their best work.
