Acknowledgments

Learning photography has been less a destination than a journeyfrom a hobby I was very passionate about to a full-time career. In that time, I have been inspired by many great photographers (Dean Collins, Monte Zucker, and Don Blair to name just a few). I studied their work and tried to learn as much as I could about what they did. I would like to personally thank a few people who helped me more than they know: Jonny, for letting me tag along on weddings, critiquing my work, and taking me with him to local guild meetings; and Stanton, who really taught me how to see light all around us. And definitely not least, I need to thank my wife for countless hours spent helping with the book and Michelle Perkins of Amherst Media. This book would not have happened without them. In an industry that is constantly changing and evolving, I still find myself learning new things and hope I never lose the desire to grow in my knowledge of the craft. If this book can in any small way help others who have the same love of photography, then I will consider it a success.
