How to Draw from Photographs: Learn how to make your drawings "picture perfect" (Artists Library)

How to Draw from Photographs: Learn how to make your drawings "picture perfect" (Artists Library) Review

Photographs are valuable reference tools that most artists use. Complex subjects are generally easier to draw from photos—plus other factors, such as weather, movement, and lighting, can make drawing from life nearly impossible. Children and animals, for example, rarely sit still when you want them to, making it much easier to draw them from photographs. However, many beginning artists aren’t confident in their picture-taking skills, or they don’t know how to translate their photos into drawings. That’s where this innovative book comes in! In no time, beginning artists will be drawing animals, people, landscapes, and still lifes that look real enough to reach out and touch!

A Butterfly Lights Beside Us

A butterfly lights beside us, like a sunbeam...
and for a brief moment it's glory
and beauty belong to our world...
but then it flies on again, and although
we wish it could have stayed,
we are so thankful to have seen it at all.
~ Author Unknown

All our butterfly photographs are taken of live butterflies in the wild or in sanctioned butterfly conservatories.

This book has full color images that will be in color on Kindle apps for devices, and on the Kindle Fire. They also will look great in black and white on Kindles that don't support color.

Light in the Desert: Photographs from the Monastery of Christ in the Desert

Light in the Desert: Photographs from the Monastery of Christ in the Desert Review

In 1968 the Trappist monk Thomas Merton visited the Benedictine monastery Christ in the Desert, near Abiquiu, New Mexico, shortly after it was founded. His writings and photographs of his experience brought the secluded monastery to the attention of a wider community of people seeking sanctuary and spiritual inspiration. After being imprisoned in Afghanistan while on assignment for "Life" magazine in 1989, photojournalist Toni, O'Brien sought solace and perspective at the monastery. He returned in 1994 to do a story and, in the process, became a practising member of the community. During his year-long residency, O'Brien was granted rare access to photograph the monastery and the daily activities and offices that have been kept in a tradition dating back to the Middle Ages. O'Brien's camera became an instrument of contemplation and spiritual healing, his reverent photographs reflecting, as well, the harsh beauty and austerity of the monastic life. In an accompanying essay, poet Christopher Merrill follows the daily offices of the monastery, weaving threads of history, theology, and spirituality.

How to Photograph Children

How to Photograph Children Review

This article, as the subtitle says, is "a short, non-technical, plain language guide by a 30-year pro". A quote from inside the book says, "Most of the information in this article can be used and understood by readers who only have a child, a cell-phone camera and no technical experience whatsoever."

The real magic in this booklet that sets it apart from "gear-orieinted" books and guides is in the "psyops section".The author shares his secrets for gently guiding the child's behavior in such a way as to produce "WOW" images. All the perfect lighting and posing suggestions and lens choices in the world will not wipe away a child's tears. Stopping the tears and inappropriate behaviors before they start is the key.

The book is direct, with no-bull or filler and is easy to read and put into practice.

It has 4345 words or about 13 to 17 standard paperback pages.
