How Digital Photography Works

Steven Rosenbaum of S.I.R. Marketing Communication, Andy LaGuardia and Craig Andrews

of Fujifilm, Eric Zarakov of Foveon, Steve Massinello and Christa McCarthy-Miller for Kodak,

Alexis Gerard, President, Future Image Inc., Sam Pardue, CEO of Lensbabies, Ernie Fenn of

Sto-Fen Products, Hilary Araujo of Steadicam, Tom Crawford of the Photo Marketing

Association International, and Karen Thomas, who first drew me into digital

photography.

There are others I’m afraid I’ve overlooked. One technician at Colorvision was enormously

helpful for me understanding color calibration, but I can’t for the life of me find his name in

my notes.

It’s a cliché for authors to thank their spouses for their patience, encouragement, inspiration,

and for not running off with someone who spends way less time in front of a keyboard. The

thing about clichés, though, is they’re often based on truth. I could not have done this without

my wife, Sue. She was encouraging, patient, angry, forgiving, insistent, comforting, and a

great editor and advisor. Writing a book is not easy, and without someone like Sue, I’m not

sure it’s even worthwhile.
