Short and sweet. Direct. Pithy. That\u2019s how Jay Maisel serves up a lifetime of hard-earned wisdom. Most of the pages with text have half a dozen lines. One has two \u2013 and it\u2019s enough. Better still, each page builds on the other.<br \/>\nYou could read this book in a single sitting. I did. I recommend the experience. But I also recommend you read it again \u2013 and again. Mark the pages you want to return to for in a few simple lines there are life lessons to be found and refound. It is not that you have to think long and hard to figure out what he\u2019s saying; Jay\u2019s already done that work for you. It is that you\u2019ll need more time to truly internalize what he has found and shared, until it is deeply felt; he did. Do this and you will be a better photographer. You\u2019ll learn to see more.
