Definitely put in some examples of your fantastic workflows- dodging, burning, sharpening, layers, etc. You said it's not a "how to" book but anything that would shed light on your post-processing expertise would be appreciated. Looking forward to it. I was very curious what tools you use- and what ones you avoid. Somehow I imagine you have some amazing sharpening or color adjustment method that makes your great photos even better.

Your words fall a bit more into the want, than need category, but that line has become so blurred you'd think I was on a beech in Mexico. So every time you produce words for pay - I'm inclined to purchase them.It's a more than fair transaction as I'm sure the $30 or so dollars I throw at Amazon flows it's way through a series of tubes, past the warehouses of the Amazon, over to the Peachpit press headquarters, winding it's way into gashes and cracks in the floor, down down into a dark dungeon where the last remnants collect, forming droplets, pausing for a moment on a ledge. TAP TAP TAP - the sound of the droplets bounce of the top of your head; crouched, cramped and cold, chained to a Macbook you glance up and let the next few drops catch your tongue; TAP TAP TAP. Your thirst quenched - mitigated for just a moment - you return to your aluminum device feverishly typing your next tome. "Maybe just this one more" you say to yourself, "One more and they'll let me go."To be with your wife again; to sleep without the fear of words, language, edits, and corrections permeating your dreams - do I use the American spelling or Canadian? To see a sunrise again, not refracted light through your office blinds, not a stolen glimpse from a landscape photographers website, but real and in front of you. Life. Photography. Vision!TAP TAP TAP... the moment is gone - you have a chapter to finish, they'll want to see what you've done - they'll be coming soon - TAP TAP TAP.

I can't wait till it comes out. I recently ordered and received "Within the Fame" and "VisionMongers". Started in on the latter last night and am loving it. Keep the books coming. They are wonderful resources and true works of inspiration for all of us. David… I can’t wait till it comes out. I recently ordered and received “Within the Fame” and “VisionMongers”.

If not maybe an E-book. Free for those who buy the book of course. Are you playing around with Lr 3 & if so will it be covered in the book. If not maybe an E-book.

I had my credit card out and was ready to order when I read further and realized that I will have to wait until May. That's probably just as well. I need to finish Within the Frame and VisionMongers first. Hi, my name is Art, and yes, I am addicted to David duChemin. Wow, great to hear.
