summitar Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Kevin M, Lighten up, for god's sake. The first two books Jay mentioned are legitimate and are certainly appropriate to the Leica forum. I think it is wonderful that Duncan is still alive -- as a WW2 marine and a Korean War photog, he has had enough adventures for several lifetimes - he is one of my heroes. The other selections were made with a light and witty touch. We all have a tendency to overreact here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hans_berkhout Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Re-reading "Letters from Deadman's Cay" by Nina Berkhout. I had given her a Rollei TLR E2 for this adventure, turned out very nice. And then I look at John Turnley's Fine Art Prints on his website. Great stuff, somewhat romantic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

________1 Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 "Jamie: Is that Lisette Model book still in print?" Bill, I just had a look over at abebooks.com and see a clean copy is selling for 75.00USD and up, so, no I guess it's not in print. The book is actually a catalogue for a Model show that toured in the early 90's. Highly recommended, about 100 pages of photos and text, then another 100 pages of photos only. Model sounds like quite a character, what was the class like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

absinthe Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 Oh, and I read NG, Real Simple, Budget Living, Budget Travel, & LensWork<p> I also sit in Barnes & Noble & read books on local stuff while enjoying a cuppa joe. Lately I have been jotting notes from the Photoshop CS Bible & Real World Photoshop CS. Barnes & Noble's air conditioning is better than mine :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jose f. Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 After reading for eight hours a day, five days a week at work, I'm lucky to get through the weekly Amateur Photographer and maybe a Carl Hiassen novel. Can't believe our Florida members haven't appeared in them yet. Or have they? Trying to get through Marc Reisner's "Cadillac Desert" again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karim Ghantous Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 Olivier, IP chains is actually quite simple (and fun!) as long as you aren't writing hundreds of lines for hundreds of networked computers. We're going to change back our gateway from IP tables as IP chains is actually more suitable (due to session time-outs and crap like that). I might even look into IPFW for Solaris just for a kick. ;-) <br /><br /> Heather, nice going! I mean, they're just <em>inviting</em> you to exploit the system! :-) <br /><br /> Martin, you might appreciate that I read some of Chuang-Tzu's writing recently. What he wrote is amazing, and he put into words ideas which I haven't been able to express and refine properly. Recommended for all! <br /><br /> Trevor, interesting, though apart from the Bible itself I know very little about church-specific literature save for the 39 articles. I guess the Prayer Book is mainly instructions for clergy on what to do and when? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raymond_tai Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 The last book I read was Dude Where Is My Country by Michael Moore. Now I am near the end of The River at the Center of the World by Simon Winchester (highly recommended!). On the plane tomorrow I'll be flipping through the Lonely Planet guide to Tokyo.
