Photography eBooks

Photography books are wonderful, and necessarily expensive.

eBooks offer the possibility of owning books I couldn’t afford, or at least for which I wouldn’t want to pay the hardcover price.  On the iPad, the images are excellent, maybe even astounding — I haven’t tried the iPad 3.

Daniel Milnor, Peru  – free from iBooks

Elliott Erwitt – Personal Best eBook – $5.99 vs $55 for a hardcover edition. I don’t know if it’s identical, but certainly the eBook is more accessible.

A video of India that she made. Her photographer’s eye is apparent in these images.
