Got a $50 Amazon gift card burning a hole in my pocket. Any recommendations? Was thinking about Stephen Shore's the Nature of Photographs........

Is there anything specific about photography that you want to learn? What have you read already?

Thanks, I was actually thinking about that one, but couldn't remember the name. that's more of what I think I'm after, concept / philosophy, more so than technical. I have a ton of technical books and the photographer specific books are usually priced pretty high. Although the last Erwitt book looks interesting.

Have you read On Photography by Sontag?
