Backstory

In 2006, I bought my first SLR camera, a Nikon D40. I took a lot of terrible photos. Like...just badly terrible. In 2007, I added more to that terrible collection. In 2008, I decided I liked taking terrible photos so I bought more lenses, figuring that would improve my ability to be a terrible photographer. Unfortunately, near the end of the year I caught a bug that made me care about taking good pictures. Then finally came Christmas 2008, when I decided to do one of those cheesy 365 “photo a day” projects for 2009. Long story short, it became stupidly successful. I wrote some things about lighting and drew some diagrams. I learned a lot of things, many hardships were had, and I am now a better person. Years later, I wrote a book about it.....
