Acknowledgments


This book has been complex and challenging in a number of ways, and it absolutely could not have
been accomplished without the support, participation, and relentless hard work of a number of people.
First and foremost, thank you to my family, Amy, Alexander, and Tatyana, for putting up with me during
the unexpected twists and turns this book has taken. Cricket Krengel, the book’s editor, and
Michael Guncheon, its technical editor, were tireless in their efforts to ensure the book was accurate,
readable, and up-to-date with everything from current Canon technology and products to correcting
me on various topics and concepts of photography. This team could not have been more stellar.
Several professional friends helped tremendously in the book’s progress and development, as well.
Michael Johnson of New Era Photography came through at the last minute with badly needed images
as did Jackson Reed, one of my photography students, and Harry Haugen was ever-obliging as a sounding
board. My gratitude also goes to the gang at Glazers Camera in Seattle (thanks, Dave!) for their
knowledgeable advice and allowing me to use their products and part of their store as a makeshift
studio. And Margot Hutchison, my agent, has been there to represent me in virtually every situation a
writer might encounter — and to entertain any wild idea and crazy view of the world with calm logic
and reason.
kevin Mar, Jo Rorberg, and Rob Calem have been exceptional friends, sanity checks, and supporters in
the process of writing this book, as they have been for past titles. Their individual talents and support

were unfailing and invaluable.
