Photography Books

I have been a keen amateur photographer for more than 50 years. I have had a variety of film cameras but now use Canon digital SLR cameras, Fuji XPro1, Fuji XPro2 and, occasionally, a Leica M6 film camera. I prefer cityscapes, street photography and architecture. I am less interested in landscapes. I prefer black and white photographs and particularly like the street photography of the great masters, Cartier-Bresson, Doisneau, Winogrand, etc. However, I do take colour pictures! I like nothing more than wandering around cities taking pictures of anything and everything. In order to keep records of my trips, I have made use of on-line self-publishing using 'Blurb' software and have made a number of books. Some examples can be seen here. All these books can be seen in the Blurb book store
