{"product_id":"9781857568684","title":"The Classic Camera: Street and Landscape","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe term ‘classic’ evokes certain passions for objects that once were, and still are today, admired with enthusiasm for their style, craftsmanship and durability, not to mention a nostalgia for things of the past. There are classic cars, classic trains, classic watches and classic cameras. The latter work with film, not a digital memory card. They are easy to operate and obviously more fun. No ‘menus’, no fancy features, just mechanical dials, manual focus, frame your subject and shoot. I recall seeing an ad in a magazine, though it was not a photography magazine, for a Leica camera, a Leica M 6. The text extolled the fine craftsmanship with which every Leica is put together, and I remember reading that ‘it was made with love and care and there seems to be a soul in every Leica. Try to find this in one of those digital cameras.’\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is an extension to my previous work, The Analog Camera. They do not pretend to be books on outstanding photography, but rather a mirror of everyday situations, of everyday people in their everyday environment. Naturally, I could not resist the temptation to include landscapes and historical landmarks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Liverpool Academic Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47043429531888,"sku":"9781857568684","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781857568684_p0.jpg?v=1763599191","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781857568684","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
