Acknowledgments

My thanks to the entire team at Wiley for their hard and excellent work on this book. And to recognize the immediate team, I was fortunate to have Kristin Vorce, one of the best editors on the planet, as editor on this book. I appreciate the fine technical editing by Jon Canfield, and the eagle-eye copy editing by Kim Heusel. And, of course, its a pleasure to continue working with Courtney Allen, acquisitions editor. It takes a team to create a book, and we had a marvelous team.

Also thanks to my small circle of longtime photographer friends, my photography students, and the photographers on photography forums all of whom so generously share their photography experiences and insights. And thanks to the good people at Kenmore Cameras for getting new gear to me as quickly as possible.
