Save your money.......2003-06-15

Simply put, how can you have a "Dictionary of Photography"
without any photographic examples? I am an Amateur / Semi-Professional who has been shooting photos for nearly 25 years.
I have photographed weddings, corporate events and stock photos. As well as art photos for my own personal enjoyment. Maybe its my level of knowledge and expertise, but I don't see how this book would be of much use to anyone. Dedicated Amateurs and Professionals such as my self would know what the author was trying to say. However, a beginner or even an intermediate photographer might not understand a text only definition. Imagine Gray's Anatomy as only text and no diagrams. Granted one cannot have a picture next to every entry, that just wouldn't be practical. But the publishing company should include several hundred photographic examples for its next edition. If anyone reading this review is considering this book, take it from someone who knows, save your money. Purchase "The Photographer's Handbook" by John Hedgecoe instead.
