I have two favorite photographer books that I sit down with on a regular basis and just browse. It’s like getting the batteries charged. I always come away refreshed and ready to start taking photos.
The first of the two books is Sam Abell’s The Life of a Photograph. A long time National Geographic photographer Sam has put in one book his way of seeing a photograph. What gives life to a photograph?
This video isn’t a replacement for the book but it is a terrific addition to it.
A big advantage at USC is there seems to be a greater amount of shade trees and because the campus is smaller in size there seems to be less walking to see everything.
It also helped that the weather was very nice.
Note: The red balloon in the center background makes the picture.

Tod Goldberg congratulates his older brother, Lee, after Lee’s conversation with Joseph Wambaugh.
Tod Goldberg has a piece in the Sunday LA Times Calendar, front page no less, on a place called LA. I enjoyed the essay so much I was disappointed when I got to the end. Wanted more, much more, but isn’t that typical of us readers, we’re never satisfied.
I think Tod has sleepy eyes. They’re almost always closed when I photograph him. This happens even when he doesn’t know I’m taking the picture.
