I’m pleased to announce the release of my very first eBook – ‘The Magic of Black & White: Part I – Vision’ at Craft&Vision. I’ve been a fan of David duChemin’s work ever since I first stumbled upon his website a couple of years ago. Not only is he an accomplished photographer, but a great photographic artist.
It turns out that not only can he take a good photo, but he can write too. First came two bestselling photography books, then an eBook, and finally the Craft & Vision website was launched last year.
The concept behind Craft & Vision is brilliantly simple. High quality photography eBooks at an unbelievably low price. For less than the price of most photography magazines, you get an eBook written by a master photographer.

This is the first in a series where I will write about the story behind one of my photos. Today I’ve chosen one of my favourites, a photo of a girl that I took in Bolivia.

Most of the places that I’ve visited in Bolivia have been in the high Andes – an incredibly photogenic and outlandish region. I’ve only spent a few weeks there, but one of my goals is to return and spend more time and take more photos.

Tokyo Nightscape, Japan, 2008. A self-portrait - of sorts. I balanced my camera on a bag, shielded window glare with a coat and quick-legged it round to another window on the 42nd floor of this building to grab this self-timer shot. Shinjuku, Tokyo.
Let’s face it, anyone who enjoys both traveling and photography harbours a dream of one day earning their living by combining the two. Some people manage to achieve it. It’s tempting to say that they’re lucky; but usually their success at living such an envious lifestyle is the result of lots of hard work, talent and perseverance.
Jamie Marshall is a person earning his living as a travel photographer. His website Tribal Eye displays photos from all around the world. I look at his photos and I want to go to the same places and experience the same things that he has. I’m sure you will too.
