This is my first photography book. If you visit, please leave a comment.
Hope you like it.

WOW! What an amazing collection of photos!!

Very nice, kinda makes me wish I stuck with my photography skills - just recently got into the digital age... I'm old school, prefer film, and on that note, just reminded myself that I have 39ish rolls of film that I still need to develop. Hopefully they haven't gone bad. (If anywhere still does that..)

Mike your photo book is really nice! beautifull pictures and the cropping of these pictures is great! I tried to leave a comment but a person (I assume) had to join / register and I didn't want to do that! sorry! but your book is very enjoyable to view!

Absolutely incredible compositions Mike and a great collection.

Fantastic pictures Scratch, each definitely tells it's own story!
Not sure what one is my favorite yet since they are all so stunning......will just have to look at them all again!

I posted this because Swizz asked for some photos. Thanks to all of you for the kind remarks.

you deserve them!! lots of talent shown in these pictures! I hope you've copyrite them pictures like D&D does to help prevent anyone from stealing them and using them all over the world!

Thanks Russ,
Here's something that may surprise you: Copyright law says soon as you open the shutter, that image belongs to you whether you copyright it or not. Even if you're the 15000th photog to take an image of the Maroon Bells, your particular image is distinct and unique. As soon as you publish or post under your name, its as good as a copyright. Just to be on the safe side (and it may be hard to read in the preview) I claimed all rights to those images in the book. All rights include world rights.

True stuff Scratch! I tag ours anyways because they have been taken without permission and used......... even with our tags. That way at least we get photo credit.

A gent in Florida used one of my images without permission on his business card! We settled out of court.

In a world where its getting increasingly difficult to come up with a unique idea or product photography is one of the last realms where anyone can create something sensational. And own the rights to it even! Wonderful shots Mike!

Thanks, Brandon. I didn't take as many as I would have liked over the labor day event. I'll post what I can on that topic.

Well, here goes. My book "Finding Light" is going on Amazon in a couple of days. Cross your fingers.

I need the money.

Post up the link when it goes live!

Good to hear from you!

Beautiful photos, Scratch, sign me up for a copy!

I hear what you're saying on the copyright issue. Supposedly, the same is true for writing as for photography; as soon as you put down original words, they belong to you, with or without a copyright marking. Interesting to see where paragraphs from my book have surfaced without my permission...

Congratulations! Publishing is no small accomplishment!
