Photo Fusion: A Wedding Photographers Guide to Mixing Digital Photography and Video

Acknowledgments

I've often read this section in other publications and wondered at how many people an author will thank. Having never written a book before, I had no idea how many people were involved, how much collaboration there was with the team, or how all consuming this process can be. So, I humbly offer my own acknowledgments for those who helped make Photo Fusion a reality.

I must first thank Barry Pruett who rocked my world with an e-mail asking me if I would be interested in writing a book. Thinking at first it was a joke, Barry quickly assured me that this was, in fact, a reality, and I am humbled that he reached out to me.

To Courtney Allen and Carol Person whose unflagging encouragement, gentle critiques, and shared sense of humor helped me keep moving forward. Our e-mail exchanges make me smile, even with deadlines looming. Though our relationship started as business, I believe we have become friends through this process and I only wish we could get together in person. Words don't adequately express how much I appreciate the two of them and I hope to work with both of them again soon.

To Lonzell, my technical editor, thank you for helping me clarify the technical aspects of this book and for reminding me that we must always be open to learn something new, no matter how long we have been doing something.

To Erik who made the book truly beautiful, thank you for your appreciation of our art and for making Photo Fusion a truly extraordinary extension.

To my extended family, ...
