This book is dedicated to the coolest person
Ive ever known, my wife Kalebra.
Seeing the amazing images you get
from your iPhone made me realize the
power of the iPhones camera and start
treating my iPhone as the seriously great
camera that it truly is. Also, thank you for
not only lending me some of your wonderful
images for the book, but for inspiring me (and
so many others around the world) with your
iPhone photography, and in life, in general.
I love you, and super-dig you!

Although only one name appears on the spine of this book, it takes a team of dedicated and talented people to pull a project like this together. Im not only delighted to be working with them, but I also get the honor and privilege of thanking them here.

To my amazing wife Kalebra: This year we celebrated our 31st anniversary and you continue to reinforce what everybody always tells meIm the luckiest guy in the world.

To my son Jordan: I just cant believe my little boy has already graduated from college. It all happened so fast, but Im so thrilled for you and for the many adventures, and for the fun, love, and laughter your future holds. If theres a dad more proud of his son than I am, Ive yet to meet him. #rolltide!

To my beautiful daughter Kira: You are a little clone of your mom, and thats the best compliment I could ever give you. I love your sense of humor, your constant dancing, the hilarious faces you make, and your heart. I love the young woman you are becoming, and I particularly love when you and I go grab lunch or dinner together. Those times are so precious to me. I love you!

To my big brother Jeff: Your boundless generosity, kindness, positive attitude, and humility have been an inspiration to me my entire life, and Im just so honored to be your brother.

To my editor Kim Doty: If theres a Book Editor Hall of Fame, you should truly be in it. You are so talented, organized, and awesome, and your amazing attitude, support, and ideas are what keep me going when Im deep in the weeds. Ill be forever grateful to have you on my team. You rock!

To my book designer Jessica Maldonado: I love the way you design, and all the clever little things you add to everything you do. Our book team struck gold when we found you!

To my dear friend and business partner Jean A. Kendra: Thanks for putting up with me all these years, and for your support for all my crazy ideas. It really means a lot.

To Erik Kuna: Your suggestions, ideas, and good counsel have made this book, and the ones before it, that much better. I value your friendship so much, and feel very blessed to have you in my life.
