James Troi's Visual Diary

Photo Icons
The Stories Behind the Pictures Volume 1 & 2

Found these while I was tracking down a present for a friend (another photographer). Great resource for some of the most iconic photos since the inception of photography.

Consider Nicéphore Niépce’s “View from the Study Window” from 1827, predating Daguerre’s photographic process of 1839.

I bought them via http://www.booko.com.au/ a great place to go find who is selling books cheaply.
