You love photography.<\/b><\/h2>\n

We have that in common. You also recognize that there\u2019s no end in sight when it comes to how much you can learn about being a photographer.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m right there with you. No matter if you\u2019re a hobbyist who merely strives to make amazing photos for pure pleasure, an aspiring pro trying to break into the industry, or if you\u2019ve been working at it for a few years and are struggling to move past that initial hump, you know full well that you\u2019ve signed on for the long haul.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re talking\u00a0the rest of your life<\/b>\u00a0if you stick with it. Pretty exciting thing if you think about that concept, because it means you can always look forward to learning something new every time you pick up the camera.<\/p>\n

However,\u00a0in order to stay focused and keep our passion high, we sometimes need a few tips and intellectual tidbits that can help guide us along and save us some time and trouble. Usually, we look for those tips from people who\u2019ve been there before; people who have been through the trials and have found success.<\/p>\n

ZEN PHOTOGRAPHER<\/b><\/a>\u00a0is a collection of essays, photographs and insight that have been pulled from my 26 years as a photographer, almost 20\u00a0of which\u00a0I\u2019ve spent as a working pro in a very tough industry. My goal with this book is to help you turn your passion for photography into a dedicated focus and reduce some of the bumps along your own journey.<\/p>\n

Consider\u00a0ZEN PHOTOGRAPHER<\/b><\/a>\u00a0a well-rounded education from someone who dove in head first many years ago, fought his way to the surface and is still swimming in an ocean of very big waves.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s something for everyone in this book, regardless of style, ability, gear or pro\/amateur status, because it\u2019s not about hardcore technical information that\u2019s specifically targeted to one level or another. It\u2019s about ideas, concepts, approach, methods and general attitudes towards photography and the craft of image making, whether for fun or profit.<\/p>\n

\"Add<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s an excerpt from the foreword<\/strong>, which was written by a professional photo industry editor, who also happens to be an amateur enthusiast photographer. She found the book to be highly motivational and useful on both levels.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis book conveys the true energy of Dan. It is honest, straightforward, inspiring, and\u2014quite frankly\u2014a motivational kick in the butt. The pages you are about to read are a culmination of years of photo journaling, self-teaching, ups and downs, and epiphanies that Dan has kept track of and is now able to share with photographers asking similar questions in an ever-changing industry.\u00a0<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll learn very quickly some of the life and business lessons that Dan had to learn the hard way on his career path\u2026 You\u2019ll read this book over and over if you start to feel stuck or lazy. I hope your camera battery is charged because you\u2019ll want to run out and shoot immediately after consuming these honest and open thoughts from Dan. Listen to him.\u201d<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n
