I am a huge lover of black and white photos and as I walked through Barnes and Noble after taking myself on a date to the movies, that's right i said it, a date. I was suddenly stopped dead in my tracks when I saw the cover of the book you see above. It's Posing Beauty by Deborah Wills. The model on the cover is Susan Taylor longtime Editor and driving force behind Essence Magazine(Love the Bald head and hoops). It's a collection of Black and white photos of African American Images from the 1890's to the Present.
As I flipped through it I was so happy that I finally had in my hands a collection of some of my favorite photos and some I had never seen before. I bought it instantly. I Recently went to Deborah's book signing per the suggestion of a friend and was blown away by her outlook on her start in the business,her take on photography and the wealth of information that I went home with about the different artist featured in her book. If your looking for a wonderful gift for a photography lover this may just be it, or go out I and get it for yourself.
