Minor White: Rites and Passages



From time to time I'll be posting recommended photography books.

What better place to start than Minor White's "Rites and Passages". This book contains a good selection of some of his classic images, along with some of his own writing. It's a great introduction to this fabulous photographer and mysticist.

"Rites and Passages" may not be his best book, but it's the best one that's still in print! So unless you've want to spend upwards of $100 for a used copy of "The Eye That Shapes", make sure you add this to your photography library.
