25 Lessons I've Learned about Photography...Life (text only) (Kindle Edition)

Review & Description
In his best-selling book, Lorenzo describes how the deceptively simple rules of photography can also be applied to the art of living. Inspirational and poetic, this book will not only spark readers’ creative energies, but also reawaken your passion for life.
In 2005, as a husband, father, and corporate employee — Lorenzo's life revolved around home, work, and his daily commute from the suburbs to the city.
Then, one day, he found himself staying at the Little Church in midtown Manhattan in the wake of a marital separation. Living in virtual isolation for three months, he had a rare chance to re-examine his life.
Quite unexpectedly, he found himself wandering around the city to take photographs, a passion he had let slide in the years of pursuing a career and starting a family. During his nightly sojourns through the streets of New York City, he was reminded of some important life lessons—lessons too easily forgotten in the blur of everyday existence.
For more information: 25Lessons.com
25 Lessons has been the #1 best selling photo essay on amazon.com for 2010 and 2011. Printed paperback and hard cover versions with photos are also available here on amazon and at blurb.com.
PRAISE FOR LORENZO AND 25 LESSONS
“In many of my conversations on great photographers, I frequently mention Lorenzo’s work. His sequential photographs…are nothing less that a visual urban poem. It has been my pleasure to watch Lorenzo’s rapid growth as a leading photographer of our time.”
Jim Van Meter, Rochester, NY, USA
“Lorenzo is a master. His body of work is some of the very best online and may very well be some of the best being done in the medium today. His street work follows in the tradition of Paul Strand, Cartier-Bresson, Garry Winogrand and Larry Friedlander. Lorenzo’s 25 Lessons are…as seminal as Ansel’s dissertation on the zone system. I found them to be reenergizing, perceptive and extremely useful. I have been touched by his story, his writings and by his work. I can’t imagine anyone not being so.”
Barry Shapiro, Los Angeles, CA, USA
“Lorenzo…has a passion for life, photography and writing. He is a linguistic genius, a storyteller through words and pictures. He captures with his camera the world as he sees it, its feelings, love, beauty and all it has to offer...” Brenda George, Adelaide, Australia
ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPHER, AUTHOR & JOURNALIST
Lorenzo is a best-selling author, a writer and an award-winning street photographer.
He has written numerous books, interviews and articles about fine art and photography for En Foco, Nueva Luz, Rain Tiger and the Examiner.
Throughout most of 2010, his book, 25 Lessons I’ve Learned about photography Life! has been the #1 Best Selling Photo Essay and Artist & Photography Biography on Amazon.com. Paul Giguere, guru for the popular podcast thoughts on photography, considers 25 Lessons one of the "classic" essays on photography.
In October of 2010, he served as the NYC photography adviser for the recently launched Microsoft foursquare photography app. In 2008, he was chosen to be the HP Be Brilliant Featured Artist.
Since taking up digital photography in 2005, his photography has been featured in fotoMAGAZIN, Germany's premier photo magazine, and his photos have been cited, posted and published by over 350 other blogs, websites, and print publications.
Today, Lorenzo has over 32,000 photographs published on flickr.com—one of the world's most popular photography websites—where his photos have been seen over 6 million times and where he ranks as one of the site's most popular photographers (aka "lorenzodom").

Amazon Exclusive: Interview with Award-Winning Photographer Harold Davis
 |
Wiley Publishing is releasing three new books of mine, Creative Close-Ups: Digital Photography Tips & Techniques , Creative Night: Digital Photography Tips & Techniques , and Creative Composition: Digital Photography Tips & Techniques . My idea with these books was to help people become better photographers by presenting the subject of digital photography in a different way. What’s different about your approach?
They say that cameras don’t take photos, people do. It’s really true. Someone with a great eye can take masterful photos with an inexpensive camera. Therefore, it is important to know something about photo technique, but the really amazing thing is that we can conceptualize and come up with these bits and bytes that make up a photo—and they can be meaningful to people. I try to help people come up with images that are relevant and meaningful. Cameras and hardware are just tools. What’s with all the photos in these books?
Well, everyone likes to look at striking images, so one thing my photos do in these books is get people’s attention. However, the photos play another role as well. Each photo in my book is accompanied by the story of how the photo was made and the technical data related to the photo. That way, if you’re not ready to dive into the text itself, you can learn a lot just by browsing the photos. My feeling is that you truly do learn about photography by looking at photos. It’s much more important to look at images you admire and try and figure out why you like them than it is to read about photography. The photos in these books are baked into the DNA of the teaching strategy. By browsing through the pages, someone can learn a great deal and have an enjoyable visual experience at the same time. What’s the most important thing that readers can get out of your new books?
I want to inspire readers to be the most creative and best photographers they can be. If you pick up one of my books, I hope you can make use of the technical content and see how the photos relate to some of your own work. The most important thing, however, is to take the ideas in the book, get out there, and do some really peddle-to-the-metal creative photography. Read more

MEXICO On A Motorcycle: Riding Out The Recession is a small portion of my PHOTOGRAPHY collection taken while I was on the trip of a lifetime! This essay and photograph collection is not a how-to, but a why-to. One-hundred color photographs taken from my bike - and beyond!
Mac Patrick, Pacific Northwest rigger and motorcycle enthusiast
describes...An Adventure of a Lifetime! Mexico On A Motorcycle is the result of a 17,358 mile Motor Tour that the author took on a BMW R 1200 GS into the heart of Mexico.
This eBook, coming soon to print-on-demand, features travel notes, map, trip statistics and over 100 stunning color photographs!
The authors' words: "In 2009 an amazing opportunity to ‘get away from it all’ presented itself to me. It was at the pinnacle of a bad economy and dismal recovery forecasts that I decided to grasp at this chance –and turn it into an opportunity for Riding Out The Recession. After months of preparation, in November, on a sparkling bright day I turned the ignition, checked the mirrors, and zoomed into four months, two weeks, and two days of being on the road. And, it was 17,358 miles later that I wrote of my experience and sorted through over 4,000 photographs and videos in order to tell about Mexico On A Motorcycle: Riding Out The Recession.
If you say, “Yes!” to the excitement of hopping on a bike and charging full throttle into the world, this is the book for you. If you ride, and ‘the ride’ is your destination, again, this book is for you!"
Mexico! The Sun! The Music! The Food! The People! The Parades! All captured here in this collection of nearly one-hundred stunning color pictures - from bright sunny days in the pueblas and on the road, to sparkling night shots featuring street scenes, and the moon hanging heavily over the water - this travelogue includes it all.
Featured in this expose is a photograph of the oft-described, but seldom photographed, infamous 'conch tree' at the end of the road! A Must See! Read more

William Albert Allard: Five Decades (Hardcover)
By William Albert Allard
Review & Description
This gorgeous gift book reveals nearly 50 years of photography by seasoned National Geographic photographer Bill Allard. Allard was a pioneer of color photography with a style that called for entering people's homes and hearts; by winning their confidence he was able to capture "off guard" moments, and reveal the depth of human nature as never before seen in the pages of National Geographic. Always in search of "what is happening at the edges," his work reveals beauty, mystery, and a sense of adventure. Part photography retrospective and part personal memoir, this book paints a full picture —through images and narrative —of the life of a globe-trekking photographer over the past half century.
