In his review of the book on Phototuts+, Simon Bray talks about his favorite section of the book:

One of my favourite sections of the book is the opening challenge to the reader in how they approach photography, which Peter labels as “Stop Taking Snapshots, Start Taking Photographs”. He wants the photographer to take time to think about not only how they use their camera in a practical sense, but also to consider what they are capturing, the subject matter and the creative element involved.
