Take Your Photography to the Next Level: From Inspiration to Image, by George Barr, is a collection of the most helpful postings from his blog over the past few years. I rank this book right up there with the works of Bryan Peterson in terms of it's importance to photographers in general. In fact, I would declare this a must read.
Mr. Barr has taken the liberty (well advised in my mind) of editing his prior posts so that they are more current or relevant for this book. I had never heard ... Read More

A few other reviewers have used the phrase "left me cold" and I think they couldn't have chosen a more apt expression.
The author provides no insight into his thought process in either composition or technique.
IF you like industrial "rusty and crusty" black and white photography (without meaning to denigrate this genre; after all, many people do enjoy this kind of thing), then you might enjoy the photos in this book and, who knows, maybe they'll inspire you. Don't count on ... Read More

I'm half way digesting what George leads me to explore the possibility on photography. Good reference ... Read More

The review by A. Ilachinski says it all! This book is not about cameras, post-processing software, filters or tripods, it is about SUBJECTIVITY in photography. And it subjectivity, not equipment that makes great images. Sections such as "what is the image about", "It's been done before" or "Initial disapointment" (among other interesting topics) are rare enough in photography books to be worth mentioning.
The writing is pleasant and easy to follow. Images are excellent (although not all equal), and ... Read More
