It brings the theoretical into reality so it helps me learn better!

To Inspire and Challenge You
In creating this book my desire is to give you some ideas to inspire you, challenge you, and most of all get you up and out of the house to photograph something, anything! I also hope that you find some of the exercises thought provoking and challenging to the point that you are entirely outside of your comfort zone.
Some of these ideas I’ve shared in my classes and workshops, and some have come from, or evolved with, some of my students. This book is a work in progress and I as come up with more ideas I will add to it.
When you submit your name and email address, you’ll receive a link to download the book and will begin to get weekly photography articles I write here on the website. You’ll get them by email and you can stop them any time you like.
If you’re reading this because you subscribed to my newsletter and website updates, you will be notified of any revisions and updates.

What’s in the book?
- Shooting Challenges

- Tips for Success
There is no better fast track to learning something new than to practice doing it wherever and whenever you can.
This book of challenges is an idea that came from my experience working with photography students of all ages and experience levels. The one thing I keep saying to them over and over again, but yet most having trouble doing, is to get out there and do some actual photography!
Bonus: As a subscriber, you’ll receive emails every time a new photography article is published on this website and a monthly newsletter
Thanks for all the work you’ve put into this.
A couple of weeks ago, I subscribed to your newsletter and I must say … the tips are just great.

Current & Previous Challenges
Photography Challenge – Processing Before and After - It's the start of a brand new year, so I thought it would be a good time for another photography challenge to kick it off right. This one will be about photo editing, but this time you'll be working on your own images! 
Photo Editing Challenge Day 7 – Night Photography - This is the final lesson in my 7-Day photo editing photography challenge series and today you'll be working on a night photography image. You'll see how to bring out detail in areas of importance, tone down bright areas, and give your image a stylized look. There will also be a review of some of the techniques and tips you learned this week to put it all together.
