First and foremost, Id like to thank Megg Morin and Stephanie Evans at McGraw-Hill who invited me to work on this project and who worked hard to bring it to print and make it a reality.

Id also like to thank my friends (the professional models who appear throughout this book), including Kiel James Patrick, Sarah Vickers, Neal Gibeau, Connor Jon Kuchenmeister, Eric Stevens, Hanna Lawson, Michael Jade Paquette, and my Yorkshire Terrier Rusty (who loves having his picture taken, as youll see throughout this book, and if you visit his website at www.MyPalRusty.com).
