I was in the bookstore and found this book called Expressive Photography: The Shutter Sisters' Guide to Shooting from the Heart. It feels like I found a real gem.
It doesn't talk about technical stuffs like spot-metering and f-stops. Instead it talks about how precious taking photographs are: why it feels so magical.
Here are some excerpts and shots from the book that I love.
Daisy by Tracey
One of my photographer friends once introduced me to Sally Mann's work and her basic notions of photography: "Shoot what you know," and "you can find great images right in your own backyard." It's easy to forget that simple, truthful beauty emerges from ordinary things and can be found in every little corner of our homes and everyday lives. Tracey's kitchen windowsill offers views like this each morning. When we seek out the subjects that slow us down and give us perspective, what we see then become imbued with a sense of quality and beauty.
