<p>Barbara M Stecher developed the concept of sketchbooking to better observe things that interest her.  She enjoys story telling aspect of "being there" that shines through the pages.  She loves the outdoors and has introduced hundreds of people to the pleasures and values of observing through sketchbooking.   The author teaches how sketchbooking works; how to get started; the basics of sketchbooking; sketchbooking on your trip.  The epilogue is title "Sketchbookers Reporting In".     Sketchbooking is an attitude, an approach to sketching that means you carry a book and watch for moments to use it.  There are often times to sketch if you have your kit at hand.  Sketchbooking also means that you set up the book to be like a published book, with a title page, chapters, etc.  The book is totally self-explanatory, now or years from now.</p>

It includes well-known black-and-white images by renowned masters, as well as very recent color work by American and European photographers alike. Among the 85 photographers included are Ansel Adams, Diane Arbus, Julie Blackmon, Manual Alvarez Bravo, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Bruce Davidson, Rineke Dijkstra, Elliot Erwitt, Lalla Essaydi, Larry Fink, Robert Frank, Emmet Gowin, Pieter Hugo, Dorothea Lange, Gillian Laub, Helen Levitt, Sally Mann, Mary Ellen Mark, Tina Modotti, Abelardo Morell, Martin Parr and Doris Ulmann. Scholarly essays by Rachel Rosenfield Lafo of the DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park and Barnard College's Anne Higonnet discuss the history of photography and changing concepts of childhood in visual imagery, respectively.</p>
