July was a slower month for me and I only read three books. I focused on non-fiction this month and improving my skills. What did you read in July?
How to Shoot Video That Doesn’t Suck by Steve Stockman
☕☕☕☕☕ / 5
Although this was more directed at people making movies or capturing their family events, I took a lot away from it for my own videos. It was very easy to read and flowed really well. You could also skip around and find the sections you need at the moment. It felt like a friend was teaching you how to do video.
The ideas were well stated and easy to implement. I found it to be useful and would recommend to someont that wants to improve their videos.
How to Make Money While You Are Sleeping by Rick Sammon
☕☕☕☕☕ / 5
I may be a bit biased, but I do really love all of Rick Sammon’s books. This one is no different! It was easy to read and I learned a lot about different passive income and most of the ideas would be easy to implement. He also used other photographers to help fill in his knowledge gaps.
I took a lot away from this book and thought it was very useful. I would recommend to photographers looking to get into more passive income.
Rebel Girl: My Life as a Feminist Punk by Kathleen Hanna
Audiobook read by Kathleen Hanna
☕☕☕☕☕ / 5
I realized my non-fiction book review system doesn’t work as well with memoirs but I tried! I listened to the audiobook and it was so easy to listen to and flowed very well. Since it’s an autobiography, it’s easy for her to be an expert of her own story. I thought she did a great job putting together her stories and getting her thoughts/reflections on the stories across well.
I LOVED this audiobook and having the author read it was perfection. I almost finished it in one day! I did not want to put it down. I would recommend this book to anyone who has a fan of Kathleen Hanna or the Riot Grrl movement.
