Okay...first: I know I'm behind by like 5 days. And that, in those five days, two of these post topics are rather hefty and will take some time to get through. So please be patient. I'm going to get this done, even if it takes me til mid-November.
We had a long weekend at home (hence the lack of posts) and I've been really busy with work, cleaning, planning, and getting ready for our trip this week. So if there is a severe lack of posts, that's why :-x
So back to today's topic. I can't say as I really have a favorite non-fiction book, but I can tell you which one I'm working through right now.
Since I'm now the owner of 2 SLR cameras (one digital, one 35mm film), I've been doing a lot of reading on photography...composition, light, angles, focusing, aperture, depth of field, inverse square law, etc. And I have two books sitting around. The first is Langford's Starting Photography, which I keep at my desk or in my car to read when I'm early to meetings or waiting for something to load on my computer. The other is Fundamentals of Photography by Tom Ang, which I carry all the time (mostly because I still haven't finished reading it).
And I know they're not books, but I've been following Digital Photography School in my Google Reader, along with a few other sites and forums. The idea being to educate myself as much as I can, network a little with other photographers, and use resources in my community to learn and grow so that, hopefully, I can one day turn this into my job.
I've also been reading books on mortgages and home buying and real estate websites. Lots and lots of research and information trying to get ready for buying a house...my goal with that is to not be totally clueless when we do start looking next year:P
