Because of my interest in photography (and teaching it to teenagers) I found this book a light, relaxing read. The Contact Sheet edited by Steve Crist, serves as a window into a photographers work. For every photo that is published or printed, there are hundreds that are not. In this book, the reader gets to see all the photos that were taken, the photographers notes and marks on the contact sheet.
The book is not overwhelming with technical talk, but does give you a few paragraphs about the photographer, the subject (lot of times a celebrity) and the setting for the photos. Just enough to keep you interested. Caution: THERE IS SOME NUDITY!
