 Photographer's life December 31, 2007
I bought this as a gift for my Grandaughter. She absolutely loves it and her Father loves it also. She is on the year book staff and is really in to photography for the Year Book. It is a great book

What a waste of my money... the entire book is of her and her family, and not the type of book I expected it too be. Its filled with lots of self expression naked photos of her that are not attractive even as art work.
If I could I would send it back for a refund.
 I returned it right away!! December 27, 2007

This was a huge disappointment. The photos were sometimes absolutely grotesque (I'm a professional not of her stature but I do have an eye for this stuff!) and I had to change pages as fast as possible! Some were blurry, repetititve and made you question not only why was it in the book, but why take it at all? Nudity CAN be beautiful if done tastefully but this was just bad. NO better word would describe the content. I returned it the minute the stores opened after Christmas!
I bought books I could actually learn something from...........

I was disappointed that there were so many pictures of the photographer and her family versus "famous" people. But... Perhaps I should have taken to heart the title of the book, A Photographer's Life! My bad!

I don't really know any of the author's work. This was my first exposure to her and I had a hard time seeing what is so great about it. 3/4 of the book is full of b/w pictures of people lounging around at their worst. Anyone could have taken many of the pictures.
There are some decent portraits but nothing that you can't find in three dozen other books from a lot of authors.
I have heard her referred to as the greatest American photographer of the 20th century, maybe there are things she did a long time ago somewhere that prove it but this book just can't be a showcase of why she is so great...
