DEDICATION
To my wife, Kathy, who has posed for a large number of pictures as I tested lenses, placed her in dozens of travel shots, or used her
as a model because I think she is beautiful.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Ten talented and experienced photographers contributed chapters for this book, and I am grateful for their help and encouragement.
They also illustrated their own chapters, and their photographs will inspire readers as they did me.
