About the Author

Author and photographer Jeff Carlson (@jeffcarlson on Twitter and Instagram, jeff@jeffcarlson.com) is a contributing editor at TidBITS and writes for publications such as Macworld, DPReview, and CreativePro.

Acknowledgments

First and foremost, my thanks go to Joe Kissell for shepherding this project into existence, cajoling me in the most encouraging way possible when needed, and for being a patient and keen editor.

I also want to thank Morgen Jahnke and Joe as co-publishers of Take Control, for their steady hands directing this wonderful publishing house.

I owe gratitude and sushi to Glenn Fleishman for his contributions to this book, and drinks to Agen Schmitz and Andrew Laurence for letting me bounce ideas and questions at them.

And no project is complete without the support of my wife, Kimberly, and my daughter, Ellie, who endure this late-night writer’s schedule and occasional stress levels.

Shameless Plug

I produce a lot of creative material—something which I’m honored to be able to do—including photographs, books for Take Control and Rocky Nook, the PhotoActive podcast, and articles for Macworld, the Seattle Times, DPReview, CreativePro, and other outlets. Find my work at jeffcarlson.com and sign up for my low-volume newsletter to learn about new projects and occasional deals and giveaways. Thank you!
