Title of the book: India Author: Debra Schoenberger Publisher: Blurb Publishing Date: 2017 ISBN: 13: 9781366531575) Summary: I have always been fascinated by the sheer beauty and diversity in Indian culture. "Sensory overload in a glance" is an apt description of a country that is always in movement. To be able to stand still in the middle of all that movement allows me to really "see" her people and absorb the flow of life from birth to death. From learning how to make yellow ink from cow urine to watching funeral pyres burn in Varanasi, I realized that I would have to spend a lifetime here to grasp the immense value of her art, stunning architecture, fascinating food and love of all that is beautiful.

Title of the book: To be a Child Author:  Debra Schoenberger Publisher: Blurb Publishing Date: 2015 ISBN: 978-1364706685 Summary: Give a child a cardboard box and his imagination will turn it into anything but! Today, it is less common to see children playing in the streets, especially in urban areas. The plethora of ready-made toys should make any child happy.  What usually happens is that the box the toy came in becomes the toy! This book documents children at play (and at times at work) from 10 different countries. A child's ingenuity never ceases to amaze me and I hope you will share these images with your children as well.

Title of the book:  Montreal Street Photography Author:  Debra Schoenberger Publisher: Self Published Publishing Date: 2014 ISBN: 9781320108362 Summary: Montreal as seen through the eyes of a street photographer. These unusual images show Montreal and Montrealers from an entirely different perspective. Debra Schoenberger aka "girl with camera" has lived in Montreal since 1979. Personal Opinions: I'll be honest: I've never reviewed a photography book before. I do hope I'll do a good job of reviewing this one. By reviewing I'll be using my observations if possible. I've never been in Canada nor in Montreal, but the book has interesting pictures, and few times I chuckled ironically at some of them. I also kind of wish that the author would have used names for some of them, which might make it easier to talk about some of them. Its interesting to note that the book has both black and white pictures as well as colorful pictures, and bl...
