Lazy Sunday: Photography Books

What I love about Sunday is that I can sit around our house and be prisoner of written principles and moments.  I am a reader, not very fond of fictions, but more of non-fictions.

Sometimes, if you are lucky, you would see various gift items (like bands, mugs and alike)).

These are light reads, and being a fast reader, I should be buying another book by the end of the month.

So while looking for new books,  I stumbled upon these few recommended for photography hobbyist like me:

My goal is by the end of the third quarter, I will on the next step in photography and will be reading the following:

I would like to think that this is my own way to be able to differentiate myself from those poser photographers. I don't like to be named one, so I am doing these extra steps in improving myself on this new craft.
