There are bazillions of "How to..." books about photography in the world. There are fewer books with photography as a main theme or plot point but no less important a source towards our growth as photographers.
We will meet to discuss a book that involves photography as a key element of the story. Future books may be fiction, non-fiction, biography, autobiography, history or even poetry. Suggestions are welcome.
The book this time will be The Painter of Battles by Arturo Perez-Reverte
"Andrés Faulques, a world-renowned war photographer, has retreated to a tower overlooking the Spanish coast, where he paints a vast mural incorporating the indelible images of conflict he’s witnessed in his lifetime.
One night, an unexpected visitor interrupts his solitude. As Faulques struggles to recall the face, the man explains that he was the subject of an iconic photo taken by Faulques in a war zone years ago–a photo that destroyed his life. “And why have you come looking for me?” asks Faulques. The stranger answers, “Because I’m going to kill you.”
