Ten Years Ago Today eBook Coming Soon

I'm almost finished working on my new ebook, Ten Years Ago Today, a retrospective of my photography from 2002, the year I got really serious about photography. At the end of 2002, I made the decision to shoot professionally.

This ebook is a celebration of my break from simply trying to recreate the images of others and setting off on the process of discovering my own vision and photographic style.

"It’s a celebration of the year that I finally began to really see. It’s a celebration of the images that emerged from that learning process. And most importantly, it’s a celebration of freeing yourself from the common to explore something new; it’s a celebration of the value and necessity of finding and expressing your own vision. If nothing else, I hope this book inspires to find your own vision."

In the book, I examine 20 images I took in 2002 - ten years ago - why I took them, what I like about them, their compositional elements, and any special techniques or post processing used to make the final image stand out.

The book is a journey of photographic self-discovery and reflection. In fact, I learned a lot about myself in the process of writing this book. I learned the ways in which I've changed and grown in the past ten years, and some ways in which I haven't grown at all.

I think anyone who is a photographer will learn something from this book. And anyone who enjoys beautiful landscape photography will enjoy the images!

I've included a few sample pages here (click on the images to view full size):

When the book is ready (scheduled for February 17th), I will post a link to where you can purchase it here in my blog, and also on my website.
