Original message: Tempus8080,8080,0000Do any of you who teach photography have a textbook? . . .. <<<<<<<< Tempus8080,8080,0000Judi in NC In college we use Photography by Barbara Upton, et. al. It is very comprehensive (and expensive). 0000,0000,ffff"Seeing Photographs" is a good chapter on composition. In a high school, I would try to have at least one copy in the classroom as a reference. The 7th edition includes a chapter on the digital camera and one on the digital darkroom. It is over 400 pages (too heavy), has 17 chapters, is well illustrated, and well written. I think it is about $80, but used ones are $35 at Amazon (may not be latest edition). I allow students to get recent editions if the cost is too high.
