+   One of my biggest passion beside photography, it's to get lost in bookshops and libraries.
+   My eyes were attracted by a book called "The Photographer's Playbook" and especially seeing
+   the publisher "aperture" which is usually an incredible publishing house for photography books.
+
+   The book is composed of 307 assignments and ideas for photographers. Don't be scared, it's not
+   a schoolbook. It's basically ideas or advices given by wellknown photographers to their students.
+
+   There are lots of them and even if you don't like some, you can skip to the ones you like.
+
+   Some ideas are really refreshing like the one from Elisabeth Tonnard which uses the text of Roland
+   Barthes "The Death of the Author" and propose to replace each occurence of words like "words" with
+   "images" or "write" with "take photographs". Then she proposes to use the resulting text as a trigger
+   for your photographic works.
+
+   Some are meaningful notes that can be used as day-to-day support like the ones from Denise Wolff or Alex Klein.
+
+   A great companion book for any photographers willing to be enlighten or shaken by random notes or ideas.
