During the time of the course I have read many photography related books. Not all have been read from cover to cover (biographies and autobiographies being the exception) as this would have been quite an achievement and possibly counter productive. Reference books have been an invaluable source for researching the historical development of photography while the biography’s and autobiographies have been an inspiration as to how those individuals have diligently perused an idea or ideas to achieve the photographs they have made. .
