Creativity Seminar Book Recommendations

I am giving a presentation on CREATIVITY in U/W Photography on Saturday at the Beneath The Sea Conference at the Meadowlands.

 The link to the handout for the seminar is here.

A lot of it is inspired by one of my mentors, the late great Galen Rowell, and Henri Cartier-Bresson.  I will be recommending these books:

Galen Rowell's Inner Game of Outdoor Photography

The first third of the book is worth its weight in gold.  While some is based back in the film era, this is absolutely the best thing I have read on being a photographer.











 Galen Rowell's Vision: The Art of Adventure Photography

An earlier companion volume to the one above.  Also has tons of nuggets compiled from his time as a columnist at Outdoor Photographer magazine.

















Henri Cartier-Bresson Photographer: A compendium of the great master of the "Decisive Moment."
