Artist and illustrator Lisa Congdon gives inspiration to aspiring and expert photographers alike with the release of a photo-themed journal.
The book is filled with inspiring quotes by the greatest masters of photography including Cecil Beaton and Aaron Siskind, which are scattered throughout blank pages waiting to be filled with one's ideas, dreams and aspirations. The journal also features the work of Lisa Congdon, most of which are drawings of vintage cameras. To get a taste of the journal, one of the many quotes featured in the book is this one from anonymous,"You don't take a photograph you ask, quietly, to BORROW it."
This is a great little journal because it allows you a place to jot all of your thoughts down and is also a place where you can find inspiration when you are feeling a bit pedestrian about your work.
