Amazon base price: $24.95
Average review score: 


This book will give you the inside scoop on the concept, history and day-to-day life of a photojournalist. The book is extraordinarily well written and very insightful. Mr. Chapnick, the retired President of Black Star, explains the "concerned photographer", developing a portfolio, fulfillment as a photojournalist and creative and ethical issues in photojournalism. This book has no peer on the topic.

This book was fascinating. Howard Chapnick's observations and comments on the world of photojournalism were wonderful to read. Reading it was like sitting down to a dinner conversation with a very smart man. His comments on the craft and business of photojournalism were enlightening. This book is well worth the money.

This is the only book any photographer should read. It tells you every kind of career there is in photojournalism and more. Descriptions on how to do everything from selling pictures to agencies to holding on to your self in a world that demands that you change along with it.

Come on. These guys are OK, but do they really deserve their own book? Yeah, they've got the twin factor going for them, but as photographers I wouldn't spend 60 bucks on this book unless my coffee table was lacking a good paperweight. You're better off spending the money on some Tri-X film and shooting yourself. Trust me, you'd learn a lot more then flipping through "In Times of War and Peace".

This is the best photography I have ever purchased. Amazing work these two brothers have done over the years. I was touched and awed many times when I was turning the pages. I spent an hour in my favorite reading chair silently looking through this book, beginning ten minutes after it arrived at my apartment. It is an inspiration to anyone who takes photographs. This book has incredible integrity and beauty. The photos are not only glimpses into important events of the last 20 years, but they also work very well as examples of real mastery of the camera and of the power of images in our lives.
This book means a lot to me. Every photography student should have it on their shelf. It has helped refresh my faith in the importance of taking pictures.
I've learned a lot from it and I would like to express my gratitude to the Turnleys.
