			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Main highlights this month: A week off in the Algarve, and the start of my Photography Course. In what books are concerned, I seem to be more in a non-fiction mood, with all the photography books I&#8217;m reading. So, here they are:</p>
<p>- <a href="http://is.gd/1HjekD">Zen and the Art of Portrait Photography</a>, by James DiGiorgio<br />
This is a great book, not technical at all (that will be his next book). It talks about creativity, finding your vision, and shares many experiences from the author&#8217;s career.</p>
<p>- <a href="http://is.gd/8AtOoi">The Sisters Brothers</a>, by Patrick deWitt<br />
A very funny book about the adventures of a couple of brothers (paid assassins) in the old American west. This book was shortlisted for the MAN Booker Prize 2011.</p>
<p>- <a href="http://is.gd/OuTWpZ">Chasing the Light</a>, by Ibarionex Perello<br />
Beginners level book, on how to see and work with light in photography. Many great pictures are analyzed.</p>
<p>- <a href="http://is.gd/ZH9RBh">The Creative Habit</a>, by Twyla Tharp<br />
This is a wonderful book by renowned American choreographer Twyla Tharp. She defends that creativity takes great work, and that there is a method to it. Great tips and experiences shared.</p>
<p>- <a href="http://is.gd/mVY262">The Fashion Photography Course</a>, by Eliot Siegel<br />
If you are at all interested in fashion photography, read this book. It covers all the basics, as well as more advanced topics. From getting started to going pro, all steps are covered.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I had a week off in August. Time to rest, be with friends and, of course, read. Of the six books I read last month, four are about <a href="http://lightcooler.blogspot.com/">photography</a> (are you seeing a pattern here lately?). One was a motivational one, and one of fiction. Here they are:</p>
<p>- <a href="http://is.gd/FTQ89Z">You Don’t Need a Job, You Need Guts</a>, by Ash Ambirge<br />
All about how you should find the thing you&#8217;re passionate about, and go for it. With the help of the internet and other digital tools, it gets easier. But hard work is a must.</p>
<p>- <a href="http://is.gd/iL6G4a">The Digital Photography Book &#8211; Vol 1</a>, by Scott Kelby<br />
This trilogy is a great collection of tips and tricks for anyone serious about photography. Topics range from travel photography, weddings, portrait, products, and sports. This is a to-the-point book, &#8220;wasting&#8221; no time with technical aspects and going straight to the how-to.</p>
<p>- <a href="http://is.gd/CDT3Lg">The Digital Photography Book Volume 2</a>, by Scott Kelby<br />
See above</p>
<p>- <a href="http://is.gd/D2C7Vt">VisionMongers: Making a Life and a Living in Photography</a>, by David DuChemin<br />
David DuChemin is a fantastic photographer. He works a lot with non profit organizations. In this book, he shares his opinions of what you should know and do if you&#8217;re going to take photography as a main activity. He goes from topics as finding your vision and niche, to practical legal aspects of the business.</p>
<p>- <a href="http://is.gd/tx0HFt">The Digital Photography Book: v. 3</a>, by Scott Kelby<br />
See above</p>
<p>- <a href="http://is.gd/ADx89l">The Lost Symbol</a>, by Dan Brown<br />
I am a fan of the Dan Brown novels. I have read all of them. I love the way he grabs our attention in every single chapter, and the historic and scientific facts we learn in each book. To me, it is what it is: not pretending to be &#8220;high&#8221; literature, it is a great entertaining read.</p>
