To my dear mother, Stephanie. Without your beautiful love, caring, and lifelong support of my artistic dreams I wouldn’t be who I am today. Thank you so much!

Acknowledgments

To my fine editing team at Wiley Publishing: Thanks so much for your insight, skillful editing, and continuous support and encouragement.

I owe a huge debit of gratitude to Carol Kessel, my awesome acquisitions editor, for her always-calming demeanor, handholding during the process, and gentle, yet firm guidance. She kept me on track, told me everything would be okay when I was stressed, organized all the details involved in producing this book, and was always quick to reply to my many, many questions.

Equally important in the production of this project is Amanda Gambill, my project editor. Thank you, Amanda, for your attention to detail, for helping to organize my scattered brain, and for your patience while explaining the various processes to me at least twice. Your contributions definitely made this a better book and made me look better!

Big thanks to the awesome team at www.borrowlenses.com for putting a 6D in my hands for the length of this project. This was above and beyond, and much appreciated.

A special shout out goes to my buddy, Dennis Urbiztondo. Thank you so much for your contributions to this book, for your amazing friendship, and for your endless patience and support. You are one of a kind and I’m honored to call you my friend. Everyone should be lucky enough to have a friend like you.

Finally, eternal thanks to my mother Stephanie for her boundless love and support, and for infusing me with her love of the arts at an early age. Throughout my life, your encouragement, endless laughter, work ethic, class, and belief in my dreams, have been my guiding light!
