A legacy photography text that teaches camera technique, composition, critique, visual expression, darkroom processes, and presentation through examples and exercises.
The Photographic Eye: Learning to See with a Camera teaches photography as a medium for visual expression. Michael F.

Exercises apply each concept in photographic practice.
