New eBook – VISION IS BETTER – Just Released!
April 28th, 2010
I’m thrilled to be able to announce that Vision Is Better, my most recent eBook, is now online and available for download.
VISION IS BETTER is different from the other eBooks I’ve written or published. For one, it’s big. It’s 116 pages in fact. For another, it’s all been done before. Literally. This is a collection of the 50 most popular articles I’ve written for the Pixelated Image blog. There are well-reasoned thoughts in here, alongside irrational and impassioned rants. For some reason the lunatic rants are the most popular. What they all share is a focus on the deeper issues of the photographic life.
I believe that the best photographic tools we have are our minds and hearts and the sharper those tools, the more engaged they are on the subjects that matter, the better our images will be and the more fulfilling our photographic lives will be. But as I said, if you’re looking for a deal, you can get all this for free right here, you’ll just have to dig harder and be connected to the internet. VISION IS BETTER is a beautifully laid out off-line version, and the dates are all intact so if you want to come back to the blog to read a comment thread, it’s easy to find in the archives.
I am really proud of this one. And a little embarrassed. You have no idea how much you write until you see it all in one place. Clearly I have no life. If you’re looking for 100% genuine Pixelated Image content, this is it. If you’re unwilling to overlook a book with only the tenuous thread of a theme, and lots and lots of completely biased and opinionated thoughts that I both repeat often and then contradict, then move along. Nothing to see here. Or, if you’re the latter type but also the kid of person that can’t not look at a train-wreck, then it might be worth shelling out the $5.
Hyperbole aside, I think there’s so much value in this $5 eBook that I’m willing to go on record as saying that you’ll get at least TWICE as much value as usual, and that it will last FIFTY TIMES longer than your average crappy latte for which you’ll pay about the same, or more. How can you say no?
VISION IS BETTER is available now in the Craft&Vision store, along with all the other titles, for $5.
Special Offer: For the first six days only, if you use the promotional code VISION4 when you checkout, you can have Vision is Better for only $4 OR use the code VISION20 to get 20% off when you buy 5 or more books from the Craft & Vision collection. These codes expire at 11:59pm PST MAY 4, 2010.
And.. there’s a nifty new affiliate program in place just in case anyone wants to make a bit of cash while helping David spread the love:

Thanks David for the new (old) ebook
). Great to have your best topics in one spot.

Bought and downloaded. Skimming through the pages it looks like there is loads of interesting articles to read in this one. Looking forward to reading it.
Ps. Is page 15 supposed to be upside down?
Sorry, just read the text related to the image on page 15 and it’s of course correct. Sorry.
Bought, begun, love it. I’m the same over the professional/amateur thing. Nice to find the coherent story of it here … I’m always going off at people for the same reason.
I might just refer people to you when they require immediate coherency, as opposed to negotiating my emotional incoherency.
Will this book work on an iPad?
The question is, the price is so cheap and the content value is so high, how could one not click on the paypal link?
Thanks for providing this at a very reasonable price.
Mr David -
Congrats on your new book!! And, thanks again for the 20% discount – this time I didn’t even have to reset the system date in Windows on my PC to take advantage of it!
Based upon the successes of your e-books, their frequencies of publication, and your current fun trip to Italy, I wanted to submit my idea for the title of your next book:
Vino e’ Megio (loosely, Wine is Better).
Subtitle: Free the Belt. Free the Appetite.
So, let’s Improve the Palate – Buy Less Beer!
Continued safe travels, my friend. Thanks for the books (and the postcards)!

We are excited to be on board with the affiliate program David! Preaching and helping to spread the love! http://fadedandblurred.com
Congratulations on the new book. I love your writing and it’s great to have the best of your blog in one collection!

Just downloaded and started — definitely worth the price of several lattes! My very good job also takes me to some reallly crappy hotels!
I always gain from your sharing of camera settings for your photos and would guess I’m not the only one (you can leave off the ISO if you want people to stop pestering you), so thanks in advance for including them on any future blog posts, e-books, and books. Enjoy the rest of the trip!
Vision is Better. I read it yesterday; all my favorite posts plus some that I’d missed. It’s classic duChemin – thought-provoking, inspiring, and hilarious.
If you’ve ever wondered what might drive David to drink gin from a cat bowl, you owe it to yourself to download this book and find out.
Just took a quick skim through and it looks beautiful – can’t wait to read it all thoroughly. Creative juices have been lacking lately but just peeking at this makes me want to get out and shoot something beautiful.
[...] much better at explaining all this than me, so I'll let you read more about the eBook on his blog here, or go directly to Craft & Vision to buy it here. If you go to his blog first, you can pick up [...]
This is your best book yet! I appreciate having a collection of past thoughts from your blog, as I’m relatively new to following your blog.
After reading the ebook, I can only say you’re a great communicator. Perhaps that’s the result of your evolution from preacher to comedian to photographer/writer?
At any rate thanks again.
Dave
Got your book, really interesting thoughts. Been reading it, a lot of heart in it.
David, I have found all the books you’ve put out to be of incredible value and this one is no exception. It’s nice to have these articles all in one location. Good stuff!
I’ve gotta say, $5 is way to little to pay for this much fun.
I read your first book, when will this one be on Apple iPad?
When the books are on iPad, I will buy them all. I downloaded two of your books on my iPad.
I like your writing
Thanks Glenn. Of course if you get GoodReader you can put them all on there right now as PDFs. In the future we do plan to make them available as apps on the app store, but there will likely be a delay of a month or so between the eBook coming out as a PDF and then being released for sale on the app store.
