Customer Reviews

Nice combination of technical information and passion

The author studied with Ansel Adams and shares his passion for photography. She has written a great but small book for novices who want to copy or enhance their old family photos and documentation. She is candid about the mistakes she made in her geneology work. I appreciate her breezy attitude and her enthusiam for documenting family heritage. She presents an excellence balance between technical information and the importance of capturing personality not just the phototgraphic image.
