Book Description
Written by noted AP photographer and photoeditor Brian Horton, this is an insider’s manual to one of the most glamorous and exciting media professions. Emphasizing the creative process behind the photojournalist’s art, Brian Horton draws upon his three decades of experience, as well as the experiences of other award-winning photojournalists, to instruct readers in the secrets of snapping memorable news photos every time. With the help of more than 100 photographs from the AP archives, he analyzes what constitutes successful news photos of every type, including portraits, tableaux, sports shots, battlefield scenes, and more, as well as offering tips on how to develop a style of your own.

Way too basic.......2006-08-15
If you are extreamly new at photography or maybe working for a high-school newspaper, this book would work well.
For anyone that is serious about hard-core photojournalism, like the professionals the book highlights, I do not recomend it.
I was looking for a book on some on ways to break into some of the big names. I just assumed that since it was an AP book.
"A Good Primer on Photojournalism (PJ)".......2006-07-17
"Associated Press Guide to Photojournalism", Brian Horton, McGraw-Hill NY, 2nd. ed. 2001, ISBN 0-07-136387-4, SC 223 pgs.
Sports photo editor at A-P since 1971, Horton has many credits including 2 books on news photography. This text explains PJ (picture story) - how a photographer "sees the story" is a skill requiring experience, insight, anticipation, inventiveness, & a passion. Often "breaking stories" are heavily covered & many photos require sensitivity, rapport, knowledge of equipment so to acquire a style using composition, cropping & those angles to communicate photo stories of news, emotions, life experiences, etc.
Horton quotes an A-P policy adopted in 1990 indicating "the content of a photograph will never be changed or manipulated in any way". Horton then goes on to recite of some widely published photos with recognized manipulations & public outcries leading to general distrust of media by the populace (& rightly so!). Indeed, even cropping can be viewed as manipulation, the latter generally a product of Madison Avenue influences that shouldn't reflect PJ integrity (need for well insulated photo editors).
Relying on "photo setups" can numb public's perceptions & lessen reality. Telephoto lenses as 80-200 zoom provides close-ups without intrusion despite an onerous sanctifying of 24 mm wide-angle to fill the frame by getting into the subject's face & personal space. Author interviews 8 pros on their perspectives & experiences in PJ & then concludes with a short summary of some changes in photography over the past half-century, namely the gradual switch from 4"x5" to 2 1/4" to 35 mm to color & now electronic (digital) imaging.
As a former newspaper photographer I'd been taught a good PJ shot did not require a title. I found Horton's book exacting, full of exciting photos, many good "how to" tips, and how PJ news photography has evolved into specialized art forms for optimum coverage of war, natural disaster, politics, crime, disease & subspecialities of certain sports as basketball, football, Olympics, Indy 500, etc. It is a pleasant, informative read, not overtly technical & fairly priced.
Decent Overview, Good for Motivational Purposes.......2006-01-11
I bought this book in hopes to satisfy my curiosity about photojournalism. I would say this book did a pretty good job of doing that. Although it doesn't address any real specifics of photojournalism, it does deliver a lot of the basic principles and general knowledge.
For what it was worth, I found this book to be an excellent read, with plenty of insights that would be valuable to any photographer, written with a very simplistic approach. I can see how ideas presented in this book could be applied to other areas of photography and not be limited to the field of photojournalism.
If you're novice photographer and looking for a technical, how-to, reference book, this is not the book for you. If you a photographer of any level, and you want to broaden your general knowledge of photojournalism, then this book would be a fine addition to your library. Also, I feel that this book could be used as a warm-up read prior to diving into the more advanced, technical books available on the topic.
Useless and boring..........2005-10-15
I am very sorry but I found this book to be totally useless and boring. I was sorry to spend money for it. There is no real insight into the world of photojournalism out of my point of view.
I'd rather suggest reading Howard Chapnicks book "Truth Needs No Ally: Inside Photojournalism" or Ken Lights "Witness in Our Time: Working Lives of Documentary Photographers". Both excellent books, worth the money and very interesting.
Nice introduction book.......2002-09-13
I bought this book since I want to become a photojournalist.
I am a photographer who has graduated a photo school few months ago. this book isn't for beginners, The little technical data may be misleading if read by a novice. Instead, it deals with content and the thinking and working process of photographers in this field. I find it as a nice introduction to the world of photojournalism,though a little "too good to be true" kind of book. The book definitely doesn't deal with the problems, the deadlines, the failures and the risks. This is like a postcard, where everything is perfect. There is a good side though, it is easily read, and very interesting. You want a more serious book, look some place else...
If you have the spare bucks though, don't hasitate and buy it!!!

Several years in production, this book is a great expansion of his previous two books on Edison Cylinder Phonographs. Within its 432 pages, the reader will find exhaustively researched facts about all aspects of Edison's Cylinder Phonograph research and manufacture. Each model of Phonograph is illustrated and described. This latest edition has greatly improved illustrations and is handsomely hardbound.
Customer Reviews:
Great informational book, hard read.......2002-02-14
This a very technical book with lots of information. Photos are in Black and white and could be in color for a better book. The information is vast and very technical and the reader can get lost in it. It is not a cover to cover read as the information is thrown in there and there is a lot of it. This book is a great book for finding information about a phonograph you have. It has all of the models and all of the components that made Edison machines famous. Definately a book to have if you collect phonographs, but to the average person, this book would be boring and too technical.
Great Reference Tool.......2000-07-29
As a new phonograph collector I found this book to be indespensable as a reference guide for all Edison phonograph products. Loaded with photographs and details, it is a visual and narrative guide to the machines, cylinders, horns and reproducers. Frow provides the history of the machines in an informative and easy-to read way. This book is also loaded with interesting facts about the sales approaches used to sell Edison products during the early days! Great read and reference guide! Love to hear from other collectors, MMath4@CS.Com.
The Bible for Edison Phonograph Collectors.......2000-02-13
This is really an excellent compilation, with photos, of every model cylinder phonograph that Edison produced from 1877-1929. There is a detailed history, year by year, model by model, and even accessories are included. It is truly the best book on the subject. If you have any questions on restoration of these machines, the best resource is by Eric Reiss, "The Compleat Talking Machine Book", but if you are looking for an in-depth survey of the electric and spring-wind machines and inventors, this is the book. If you have any questions about your phonograph, talking doll, coin-operated examples, etc., just email allenamet@aol.com. And for identifying every wax cylinder, there is "Edison Cylinder Records, 1889-1912."

Wayward writing style.......1999-08-10
This is another poor offering from this eminent Sociological scholar. The layout of the book is cumbersome and awkward. Once again Dunning shows his fondness for using 10 words where one will suffice. After tripping through the text for an hour or so this reader felt less knowledgeable of the subject than when she started!

2007 Means Repair and Remodeling Cost Data
ASIN: 0876298625 |
Book Description
With over 45 years of experience in contracting, managing and estimating electrical projects, the author has compiled literally thousands of installation labor rates used in everyday estimating procedures in theis easy-to-use manual. These labor rates complement the instructional portion of this manual that is written in simple, easy-to-digest construction language. Many professional estimator's guides are like door stops, filled with cumbersome and dreaded "refer to page number X" and "see note Y." They are not user-friendly or easily referenced. With its larger font sizes, larger format for easy viewing and its lay flat binding, so that it will stay open on an engineer's desktop or on the technician's sawhorse or truck hood, this manual is the optimal choice when deciding which reference material to use. Included with this book is a CD with all of the spreadsheets and forms that estimators need on a daily basis. Just download them onto your hard drive and print them out. Use them time and again for all your electrical estimating projects.
