For the last couple of years I have had the honor, the privilege, the joy and the great fun of working with Joe McNally at DLWS. There is no one like Joe. He brings his own zany, crazy fun to teaching and makes learning fun! I can never get enough of his incredible images and the stories that go along with them. I know the rest of the staff and the participants at DLWS feel the same way. Well, now you too can enjoy Joe’s images and stories in his fantastic new book, The Moment It Clicks now available from Amazon and Barnes & Noble. What a great read! Joe takes his amazing images and tells the story behind the image as well as how he accomplished the shot in a way that only Joe can do. Even if you have no interest in photography (get outta here), this is an excellent book. The subjects are familiar faces, his lighting is beyond this world and the stories will keep you up all night reading to the very end. You really won’t be able to put it down. I’m going to order copies to give to all my friends.

As if that’s not enough, no, JFM (that’s Joe Freakin McNally) has launched his new blog too! While you are waiting for the book to arrive, (You have ordered it, haven’t you!) head to Joe’s blog to see what he has up his sleeve this week. When Joe sets his mind to something, well, ya just never know what’s going to happen and I have to say that his blog is outstanding!!! It is full of the Joe I know and love with great tidbits of information, fun stories, images that only Joe can conjure up in his mind and then turn into images that take your breath away. Run, don’t walk to Joe’s new blog and brace yourself for a good laugh as you learn new techniques in the process.
