| I find that one method of keeping the passion alive, for me is my choice of reading materials. I've just finished reading "Lee Frost's Panoramic Photography" by Lee Frost (who else). I've always had an interest in panoramic photography, and even bought a 6x12 back to try it out. I've done a little with it, and would love to get a 6x17 camera someday. I've got a copy of Ken Duncan's "Australia Wide" on my desk at work; it is something I look at during lunch, or when I need a break from what I'm doing. So, what's your latest photography book?

| The latest Photography Book for me arrived just two days ago: "Francesca Woodman" by Chris Townsend. She did a lot of self portraits in old rooms/abandoned buildings and used long shutter speeds so her face/body (sometimes in stages of undress) would become a sort of mercurial blur. The book shows a nice spectrum of her work, from her first photographs at age 13 until those she took in her early twenties, at which point she decided to take her own life. Had she stuck around longer her work would have probably achieved more thematic cohesiveness, but nevertheless I'm finding inspiration and new ideas (for me and my work) in the images she left as her legacy. If interested, some of her photos can be seen here: http://www.heenan.net/woodman/ Joe
