See The World for $12
Last year I wrote SEE THE WORLD, 20 Lessons for Stronger Travel Photographs, a book about seeing and photographing the world. You could call it a book about travel photography but I think it’s more than that. Bob Krist, a veteran travel photographer who works for National Geographic and whom I include as a case study, along with Art Wolfe, called this book “The thinking person’s guide to doing what we do.” I don’t think I could have asked for higher praise. And then I added a second resource, a full case study from my work in Northern Kenya.
You won’t get a better deal on this. It’s almost 300 pages, and a 17 minute companion video, about what I consider the real goods on travel photography. The two books cover discussions from gear, and getting there, to composition and creative processes, photographing people, and the ways in which we slow down and truly experience a place. I don’t say things like this very often but this might be the best $12 you could spend on your photography education. And if you aren’t there yet, you can still get plenty of free educational resources, like my eBook TEN, Ten Ways to Improve Your Craft Without Buying Gear and its sequel, the very cleverly titled, TEN MORE. There are also over 60 podcasts, some audio and some video, here and they too are all free.
Seeing this world, and experiencing it as deeply as I can is my great passion. Having a camera in my hands while I do it, so I can share those adventures, is just the icing on the cake. Thanks for being part of that with me. If you didn’t get SEE THE WORLD when it came out or you were waiting for it to come around as the Deal of the Week, now’s your chance. It’s only $12 until 11:59 PST on February 03.
These images are from my recent travels, and while they are representative of the kind of images that you’ll find in the books, these particular ones aren’t there. I just thought I’d let you look at them. In housekeeping news, I head to Kenya this week – finally – after I threw my back out at the beginning of the month and had to cancel travel plans to South Africa and Lesotho. I’ll be on the road all February – in Kenya, Zanzibar, Rajasthan, and Istanbul – and will send postcards as I can!
