In Talking Photography, award-winning Washington Post photography columnist Frank Van Riper assembles the cream of his popular columns to delight readers with a treasure chest of photographic insights.

Readers will find expert answers to dozens of basic, yet rarely addressed technical questions, from shooting pictures under fluorescent light to defending oneself against bloodthirsty mosquitoes. They'll also find cutting-edge interviews with industry icons; captivating essays on the everyday events and great moments in the life of a photographer; and reviews of great photography-related books and shows. Engagingly written and packed with technical tips, creative inspiration, and intriguing anecdotes, this remarkable guide is an absorbing read for every photography lover.

�An astonishing outpouring of erudition on every imaginable aspect of the medium.�

�We all know a picture is worth a thousand words, but when the words accompanying the pictures are from Frank, it makes for a splendid mix. He is one of the few photographic writers who has the ability to put into words�in a meaningful way�what photography is about. I wait impatiently for the week to roll around to see what new gem Frank has discovered.�
