For my mother, who has inspired me and believed in me from the beginning.

Acknowledgments

This book was written with the care and support of a few very important people. First, I must thank my mom, who has always supported my creativity and ideas, and has been instrumental in my growth as a writer. Thank you to my sister for her contagious wit that consistently lightens my day, and my father for capturing our early childhood on film and sparking my interest in photography. A special thanks goes out to Jack and Gianina, for being my sweet and beautiful models for years on end.

A big thank you to my contributing photographers Robert Holly and Stephen Poffenberger, and my attractive models who all kindly participated in this venture: Patricia Hunt, Lauren Shelley, Jack Kuller, Gianina Monroe, Maria Monroe, Karen Fowler, Olivia Tracy, Patricia Livinghouse, Rick Schuler, Janine Warner, Dylan Cavasos, David Palombo, Bryan Kent, Teresa ONeill, Michael Welch, David Seyferth, Susan Kaminski, David Sullivan, Adam Bollinger, Raina and Maya Serota, Carm Goode, Courtney Kornegay, Tabitha Brown, Pavel Royz, Judy English, Bella Beckman, Nicolas Novobilski, Nyle Bilal, Matthew Knox, Alissa Clark, Dylan Goman, Suzie Benoit, Malik Ensley, Shelby Rae Bassman, Erin Dooley South, Bri Williams, Cooper Lovano, Loagan Thompson, Courtney Bowen, Michael Mulligan, Christopher Mulligan, the Killeens, the Wyatts, the Peternels, the Sammarcos, the Shahs, the Nakasones, the Georges, the Youngs, the Langsteins, the Tainters, the Friskes, the Rohmans and Watkins, the Poliquins, and the Stearns and Boldts.

Last but not least, my teachers over the years all deserve credit for sharing their knowledge and kindling my curiosity: Bobbie Leslie, Bobbi Lane, Charles ORear, Lee Varis, John Stewart, Carm Goode, Lawrence Manning, and Joyce Tenneson.
