Slow on the updates

previous article: next article:

writing-a-book.jpgHi, my lovelies!

Well, the contracts have been signed, and I’m working my arse off on the photography book I am writing. It’s a tremendous honour and a fantastic challenge to be asked to write a book, but next to my 10-to-12-hour-a-day day-job and spending the rest of the time writing my book, there isn’t a lot of time for other things, including eating, sleeping, communicating with friends, or updating my Photocritic blog.

It’s a damn shame, because I do love this blog (hell, it’s the reason why I was asked to write the book in the first place, so it’s actually invaluable to my status quo), but there just isn’t a lot of time.

My deepest apologies. I expect to start getting a little bit more time as the book starts taking shape. Stay tuned – we’ll soon return to our regular scheduled programming. Oh, and no doubt I’ll be whoring out my book as well – it’s due to hit the book-shops in spring 2007. All I need to do now is to write the damn thing :)

Much love,

Haje Jan Kamps

Hey Haje,

Are you still accepting guestblogger entries to help you cover while you work on your book? I’d be interested in helping out if you were, I’m really curious about this book project now :)

Thanks,

-Andrew

Thanks for all the well-wishing, genuinely! I will probably post chapter teasers, information, and all that lovely goodness when we get closer to publication date, and of course Amazon.com reviews will be most welcome as well, eventually :)

Thanks for bearing with me over the next couple of months – I won’t forget about my blog, honest!!!

My books

Macro Photography Photo Workshop

Macro Photography Photo Workshop by Haje Jan Kamps My day job, if it can be called that, is being a writer. I've got one book out there so far and it's awesome, so go ahead and buy a copy! It's available from Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, and most decent-sized bookshops, too!

To find out more, check out this post! If you want to know more about the 'being a writer' thing, check this site out.

Put another dime in the jukebox

Put another dime in the jukebox In front of you, five hyperactive men with guitars, drums, and microphones. Behind you, five thousand fans. In your hands, a camera... You're going to need more than just a little bit of good luck to pull this one off. That's where this book comes in.

With nearly a hundred fantastic gig photos, and a ton of info about how to get involved in taking photos like this yourself, you can't go wrong. Buy this book. Grab your camera. Good luck.

Street Photography: London

Street Photography: London Take a Canon EOS 450D. Attach a Canon 50mm f/1.4 lens. Hit the streets of London. See what happens.

Sounds simple - but the results are anything but. Moving, intense, and personal, Street Photography: London is a great collection of the people of London, their passions, and their dreams. Look for yourself!

About

This site is all about learning more about photography, from the incredibly insightful (rarely) to the dreadfully mundane (also, hopefully rarely) via just about everything in between.

If this website seems a little whimsical and random, then that's because the author of this blog, who for the occasion is confusing himself by writing about himself in the third person, is slightly whimsical and random himself.

Enjoy!
