Christmas! Tis the season for kindling the fire of hospitality in the hall; the genial fire of charity in the heart.No holiday has the power to captivate our senses or dominate our memories quite like Christmas. And perhaps no contemporary artist has the power to captivate our imaginations quite like Thomas Kinkade. His tranquil; light-infused paintings evoke a world where love; faith; family; and home provide guiding lights for life. In this enchanting book; Kinkades luminous paintings are accompanied by inspired and joyful words about Christmas from some of historys greatest writers; poets; and thinkers. The Light of Christmas will shine as a family tradition for years to come. Copyright 2005 Thomas Kinkade; The Thomas Kinkade Company; Inc.; Morgan Hill; CA

This is the book for you!By MikeI have almost finished reading this book (Im in the epilogue) and I just can tell you that this is a great book for anyone who has little or even intermediate experience in photography. It comes with many pictures that can guide you through this fascinating world. The chapter I enjoyed the most was the fourth; Rules of composition; Ive got to admit that Ive always heard about the Rule of thirds; but never about the Gestalt theory or the Rule of Space. I also liked the leading lines chapter.I think my photography will improve a lot once I begin to apply what I have learned here.If you have intermediate knowledge of photography I suggest checking the contents of the book and decide if you want to read about the topics listed there.Be careful; this is not definitely a book for an advanced photographer.Peter Ensenberger; have you written more photography books?1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Great read well organized; written and illustrated.By RFrankoWell illustrated and written. After reading I gave it as a gift to my daughter. Great book for basic composition without getting super technical or having to be a college Art or Design major.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Extremely User Friendly!By Linda LaCroixFocus on Composing Photos has helped me to see the world differently; while definitely helping me to take better photographs. I am fairly new to photography; but my guess is that even those who have more experience and more knowledge would find it interesting. I keep going back to certain chapters when I am working on particular concepts. Quality of the paper and choice of illustrations is also of high.
