Book features images that debuted on this forum

<p>My new book, “SEEING,” is now available on my web site. Many of the images included had there debut in the Leica and Rangefinder weekly W/NW thread over the years.<br /> It's not a typical Photography book exactly. Rather it's a crossover book combining insights, earned the hard way, with images that can either give you a break between the insights, or give you a starting point to take the insights even further into places words can not go. The two words used most frequently to describe this book by independent bookstore owners, professionals and readers who have seen it so far are “inspiring” and “beautiful.”<br /> I took it to a Photography portfolio review in San Francisco last March and there I met David Bayles (who traded a back cover blurb for an advance proof copy) and Ted Orland, the co-authors of “Art and Fear.” They both loved what I had done and urged me to self-publish as they have. Photographer, mentor and friend, Connie Imboden wrote the Foreword.<br /> You can learn more about it on my website: <a href="http://www.charlielemay.net">www.charlielemay.net</a><br /> I hope some of you will consider adding “SEEING” to your photo book collection.</p>
