I have been receiving a wonderful number of emails and private messages about my book, The Art of Children's Portrait Photography, which released earlier this month. I have to admit: I am slightly amazed at the interest paid to it so far and at the rapid sales of the book.

I just turned around the fourth and final proof of the book I've been working on for the last year (plus) - each time was a different review: text review, layout review, photography review, etc. This last review was the print review, and all looks just so wonderful. Amherst Media really did a fantastic job laying this book out, considering just how much text there is (trust me - A LOT), the book is quite visual with tons of huge photographs and cool spreads.
