Acknowledgments

My deepest thanks go to Jan Kabili and Victor Gavenda for starting me off on this book project. To Jan for coming up with the original idea for this book, and to Victor for enlisting me to carry the idea through to completion.

I also want to express my gratitude to Nancy Davis, Linda Laflamme, Rocky Berlier, Scout Festa, and Tracey Croom for their assistance, guidance, support, and (near infinite) patience with me throughout this entire process and all that I put them through. Thank you all.

I am grateful for all that I have learned from my friends and colleagues at KelbyOne, from the fantastic instructors at Photoshop World, to all of the members who have sent in Lightroom questions, and to my fellow Help Desk staffers. I am also indebted to my fellow photographers at Stocksy United and at Photofocus.com. You all have taught and inspired me over the years.

I also want to thank my wife, Paloma, for being the love of my life and my number-one supporter during this project; my son, Quinn, for assisting me on many shoots and being the model in many more; and my family, friends, and neighbors for being a part of the book in large and small ways.

Cheers to all who have asked me Lightroom questions over the years!
