ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Gary L. Friedman is a professional photographer
who has traveled the world with both film and
digital cameras. He runs the stock image website
www.FriedmanArchives.com, is associate editor
of CameraCraft magazine (a thoughtful
periodical which steers clear of gear and talks
about what’s really important in a photograph),
and gives highly-acclaimed digital photography
seminars worldwide for those who wish to
improve their creative photography and learn the
essentials in an intuitive manner. Because he
teaches seminars worldwide, Mr. Friedman stays
in touch with the concerns and challenges of
serious amateurs.
Before graduating to photography he was a rocket scientist for NASA's Jet
Propulsion Laboratory (you know, those guys who landed probes on Mars
and sent robots like Pioneer, Voyager, Galileo, Pathfinder, Spirit, and
Discovery to explore the outer solar system), where he patented the image
authentication system used in high-end Canon and Nikon cameras. He has
been published in books, newspapers and magazines worldwide, and was
listed in the Guinness Book of World Records while in college (go ahead and
search the FriedmanArchives.com website if you want to find out what he
did to get included).

Despite his mastery of the technical
background, Mr. Friedman has an
approachable and easy-going teaching style
that makes his books a pleasure to read.
