Writing a book!

previous article: next article:

Hi all,

A while ago, a publisher asked me if I wanted to write a book on a topic within Photography. I’m terribly excited and humbled, and I can’t wait to get started properly.

Of course, this means that I won’t have quite as much time to update Photocritic over the next couple of days, but I still hope to manage an update every third to fourth day or so :)

I’m hyped to shreds about this project! I will probably need a bit of help from some of you guys over time (Here’s your chance to have some photos published, perhaps?!), but I can’t divulge too much at this time – I haven’t even signed any contracts or anything yet, although I’m reasonably certain it is going though.

Stay tuned, as they say on radio. Perhaps I should say “stay bookmarked”, instead…

So, the 550D and the 50D cost practically the same, and have different advantages. Which one would you buy?

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!
