What I'm Reading...

Garden Home City: Creating an Urban Haven by Bonnie Trust Dahan

This is the latest book by Dahan. I enjoy here photos and writing as they provide many idea for bringing the garden inside your home, whether it is an old New England farm house or an apartment on the Upper West Side.

Her previous book, seen below, is also very good and has earned a place on my bookshelf for on-going reference.

Garden House: Bringing the Outdoors in

Digital Photographer's Handbook by Tom Ang

I just started flipping through this book, but have already found several good tidbits. Ang covers not only photos taken with digital cameras, but also the use of scanners and photographic editing software. He gives some quick fixes for common photo problems such as tilted horizons, low contrast and busy backgrounds. Based on my initial look, this book would be a good fit for anyone who is interested in taking more than just the casual digital snapshot.
