Every now and then we see something which sets a new level of excellence in how-to writing. That’s what this book does. The author is one of the best photographers around (Suburbia; Our Kind of People; Working), known for the kind, brutal frankness of his eye. The same goes for his writing. It’s all on the table, every inner trick and turn of how to be a photographer with your life. All the unspeakable stuff like getting published, getting grants, getting the confidence of subjects and the attention of audience, and not paying out too much immortal soul in the process.
