It has been years since I've done manual photography, and I'm afraid I've forgotten all but a very little bit of it.

I would like a book that offers several things:

1. Chapters devoted to how to work with various things, like the F-stop, depth of field and flash, etc...

2. "Assignments" for each chapter

3. Preferably *not* a book designed to be used in a classroom, but rather something an individual can use on their own.

If you know of a book, please list it here, and if possible, a link to something like Amazon or Ebay or other seller that I could find it with a review. TIA.

Can anyone with any sense compare any living figure today to Hitler? Have any of the people who have actually read history really think that Saddam, Bush or Senator Clinton compares to a man who was responsible for the exploitation, torture and slaughter of millions? Is this anything short of an insult to the loved ones of those who died at his hands, as well as the few blessed survivors?

I ask this because inane Hitler comparison questions continue to pop up on here.

If it is not can u help me find one in this poem?

There are strange and mysterious sounds
When the winds of winter blow,
The long nights are crystal clear and cold,
And the fields and meadows are covered with snow.
The stars are frosty against the sky,
And the wind's whistle is shrill,
As the snow blows against the house
And drifts against the hill.
Yet, I like to see during the winter
A white carpet on the ground,
To plod aimlessly in the deep snow,
where deer tracks abound.
I like to feel the stillness
Of a crisp winter's night,
Watching a full moon rise over the horizon,
Exposing a winter wonderland beautiful and bright.

Do they mean we look like God, or do they mean we are good like God? Well, I see a lot of evil in the world, does that mean God is just as screwed up as we are? Why does he destroy creatures he created in his image? Is he destroying his own image? I don't understand. If it is meant that we look like God, then why do people say our minds cannot imagine what God looks like?

A few days ago, I went into a local coffee shop for lunch when I noticed they used their walls as a mini gallery. It was quite a nice space. After lunch I spoke with the owner who said they had some space available in May. Right now I have the kind of portfolio of a black plastic cover with plastic sleeves with the black acid free paper to allow two photos per page.

The problem is that this is the bare minimum and I am worried that she will not want to show my work because my work is presented poorly. I really cannot spend a lot of money mounting everything on foam core boards and matting them (although I do want to). Does anyone have any suggestions and/or useful experiences to share? I would appreciate the help since this is the first time I am meeting with someone about possibly showing my work. Thanks in advance.

I found a map recently of Nazi Germany's influence at its peak and was amazed to see about the only areas within Europe that weren't under Nazi control were Sweden (though its neighbors Finland and Norway were) and Switzerland (though it was surrounded).
Why did the Nazis not take over those countries? Especially Switzerland, as it's fairly small and was surrounded.

This issue is very frustrating for me and I’ve had problems with this before. When I want to go in to do a simple search to look for “adult literature” the wording throws me into pornographic sites. When I want to look for sites that will give me movie synopsises, same disgusting results. When kids I know go into sites to do research for a school project, an occasional glitch will come through and they’re being exposed to something they shouldn’t be.

I know there are software programs out there that will enable a user to work around this situation, but what about “wording”? How can I better phrase a search so I can search for casual reading book titles without being sent to parts unknown and don’t want to know about?
