Acknowledgments
Writing a book is a team project, and for this book, I had some of the best editors at Wiley. Kristin Vorce provided outstanding support and editing as the project editor. And Lauren Kennedy was an eagle-eyed copyeditor. Thank you Kristin and Lauren for your fine editing and for your encouragement despite a brief deadline. Thanks also to Carol Kessel and Courtney Allen, acquisitions editors, for their support.
Thanks also to Peter Burian, a great friend and photographer who contributed images to this book. Ellen Anon, another dear friend and excellent photographer offered sage advice for the nature photography shooting tips. Thanks also to my clients who graciously allow me to use their images in my books.
