WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THE BOOK:

"I checked out your book from the local library about a month ago, have renewed it once, carry it with me wherever I go, and have just gone on line to purchase my own copy... I can't tell you how you have opened my eyes! As a graduate of Southeastern Center for the Arts in Atlanta, GA, I thought I knew a bit about photography. I took a long hiatus and have recently gone back to photography, my true love, and can't believe my stroke of luck in finding your book. I am inspired to say the least. Your eye is 'magic' and I can't thank you enough for your book." Alfie Wace, GA
