To my usual suspects, who make their way on stages, sets, and boats.
Although it’s always fun, it’s not always easy to use a GoPro camera effectively. It’s even more complicated when you try and explain how to do it. It takes a lot of support to get it done, so I need to thank some folks.
Let’s start the folks at Wiley Publishing, starting with executive editor Steve Hayes for continuing to provide challenges, and for having the patience to continually modify the plan to accommodate my busy schedule. Thanks to editor Colleen Diamond for piecing this ever-evolving set of words and pictures together in a cohesive form.
I would also like to extend a great deal of gratitude to the folks at GoPro. There’s nothing like getting sound advice from the people who make the camera. Special thanks to Jennifer Meyer.
Thanks to my agent Carol Jelen for continuing to find great projects for me. Appreciate all your help.
And once again, thanks to Jillian, Anthony, Stella and Alice for the necessary grounding.
