It's 4:30 in the morning and I'm so excited about Joe McNally's book, "The Moment it Clicks," that I decided jump out of bed and write about it for today's blog. I mentioned a few blogs back that I had renewed my membership with Kelby Training http://www.kelbytraining.com/ , one of the most cost effective and efficient ways to learn photography and photoshop as far as I'm concerned.
As part of the deal for signing up, Kelby Training sent me two books ("The Moment it Clicks," by Joe McNally and "The Adobe Photoshop CS4 Book for Digital Photographers," by Scott Kelby). The books arrived in my mail yesterday. If you have read any of Scott's books then you know that this one is going to be awesome!
This is the first book by Joe McNally that I have read (I read the first 38 pages last night while sitting at my son's football practice) and it is such an easy read. If you have ever been to one of Joe's seminars you know that he is a pretty funny guy who is VERY interesting to listen to. He writes the same way!
The book is extremely informative, as Joe tell's you about each photo and how he set up the shot, but I also found it to be very inspiring. It made me want to get out there and try new things, photographically speaking... to think outside the box. I can't wait to read more!
To be blunt, the economy sucks right now. I read on the internet that the recession is over, but apparently that news hasn't trickled down to Reno where I hang my shingle. With great adversity, however, comes great opportunity... you just have to think outside the box. Take a break from all the crap about the economy and bury yourself in a good book. Who knows... it might just trigger your "next big move!"
Hopefully I'll see you back here tomorrow. Keep shooting!
