#The art of bird photography torrent professional
And then sometime after that, I had a dream of being a professional athlete, possibly football, but my left knee took care of that. And what did you go to school for? What were you going to be when you grew up?Īrthur: Well, I guess when I was about four or five, like everybody else, I wanted to be a train engineer or a fireman.Īrthur: Not in the least. When you were a kid, were you a photographer? Paul: So, let’s dial back to before you were a photographer because you weren’t always a photographer. He’s always taking an opportunity to teach, and that’s so important when you’re trying to improve your photography. I’d say, just as we get started here, that Arthur is the quintessential teacher. And then I found out you were coming to Boston to do one of your photo tours, and I took that, and it was a joy as well. I took this tour here in New England, so I bought that book on encouragement of several people in a photo club I attended. So that’s what drove me to figure out who this guy was and what he did. It will just inspire you, and it’s a joy to read. So, if you’re interested in photography in the least, certainly get this book. And then the content is fantastic as well. And I’m not saying that just because you’re on the phone.
Now, I will say that the book is probably one of the best books I have ever read, bar none. The Art of Bird Photography by Arthur Morris So, lots of folks refer to it as Birds as Art. But the first book that I did for Amphoto was The Art of Bird Photography. And one note, Paul, the name of the business is Birds as Art, and there’s a wonderful story behind that. What did you call the classes that you do?Īrthur: Birds as Art instructional photo tours. You are a person who makes money by photographing birds. You’re not a person who photographs professional birds. So, Arthur is really a professional bird photographer.
It’s a fantastic book called Birds as Art and sort of a double meaning there. You may not know who Arthur Morris is, but Arthur Morris came to my attention as I started my hobby of photography.
