Street Photography Now
Sophie Howarth and Stephen McLaren, 2012 [Technique]This large book presents the work of almost four dozens contemporary image-makers noted for their candid depictions of everyday life in our streets, interspersed with four thought-provoking essays that explores the compelling and often controversial issues in the genre. If anything, the selection of photos makes you realise that there is such a large spectrum of subjects and scenes that can fall in the category of street photography, and an infinite number of styles and approaches were used to express them. Certainly the skills of the photographer, in terms of his vision, observation, anticipation and perseverance outweigh the technical considerations of camera brand, lenses and accessories.

Within the Frame : The Journey of Photographic Vision
This is a book about chasing your vision and telling your stories as clearly and passionately as possible with compelling photography. It emphasises on discovering your personal vision, evolving it and then expressing it through the visual capture using your camera. It encourages to shoot what moves your heart and mind, and necessitates the need to care and understand the subject. What to include and exclude in the frame, and the consideration of light and time, are part of the discussion on composition, and proceeds to enlighten us on storytelling approaches, and the various styles and techniques on capturing people, places and culture.

Blender 3D
While Hash Animation Master is my favourite 3D software, I wanted to try my hands on Blender, which is the free open source program. Very powerful and feature rich, the new v2.5x series has an improved user interface that is much easier to use than before. This book focuses more on the tools needed to create models and make animations for characters, which is great, as that's my main interest.
