A priceless account of the Akha communities of northern Thailand, based on a few months' stay in an actual Akha village. The account shows the warm admiration of the author for this deeply traditional and hard-working people, and a way of life based on the natural world that may no longer be viable because of growing population, increased competition and outside control of the forest and land resources, and the inroads of modern life. The book is immensely enhanced by the tastefully displayed photographs of Michael Freeman, obviously one of the greatest photographers of the 20th century. This is a volume in a little known series on 'People of the Wild' from Time-Life Books.… (more)

This book has changed my view of photography, and has done so with astonishing grace. I have rarely seen a book written as concisely, as effectively, as this one. Every chapter describes a single aspect of a good picture, without dwelling on irrelevant details, or over-explaining minutiae. It trusts the reader to pause, ponder, and consider, instead of drowning him in superfluous prose. A true work of art, that I will no doubt re-read multiple times.
