About My Library
I'm the author of two books (which I also photographed): The BetterPhoto Guide to Exposure (Jan 2009 - Amphoto/ Random House), and The Complete Guide to Nature Photography (Dec 2011 - Amphoto/ Random House).

I also love reading about outdoor adventure or any stories based around wilderness areas or adventures.
