Amazon sold out in two countries, Reviews rolling in!
The book "A World in HDR" is finally rolling out of stores and getting in the hands of you crazed (and awesome!) fans! I can't thank you enough!
A few early reviews are rolling into Amazon, where you can go have a look for yourself! I do humbly ask that you also go give a review after you drink in the book for a while. I hope you are impressed -- a great review is really important. From the stats, 80% of the people that visit that page end up buying the book - that is incredible, and I thank you for your support!
I know we have a ton of fans from the UK, and that resulted in the Amazon UK store being sold out. And then I heard the one in Canada was also sold out. Let's hope they have a chance to re-stock ASAP! Again, thank you!

A big Guest Blog article on Scott Kelby's site
I wrote a piece over at Scott Kelby's blog entitled "Being an artist sucks. Being an artist is awesome." It ended up creating a lot of controversy! You guys can see the comments below the article if you like some good heated debate... Actually, the debate had nothing to do with the article itself! There's just a few haters out there. You know how it goes...
Limited Edition Numbered Series Prints
We have completely changed the way We Sell Prints, and now we only sell Limited Edition Numbered Series prints. So, each one is a collector's item and will grow in value over time. Also, you can be assured that each one is special.
Even better, they start at a very affordable price! Only $99 for a basic fine art paper print, and then it ratchets up from there if you want a giant canvas in your home. We certainly have something for every taste, every color scheme, and more. Starting out, we only have 20 of the best available. Every week we will be release one more print into the lot.
I'm coming to New Zealand - Get ready my Kiwi peeps!
You guys in New Zealand are awesome. I can't believe the disproportionate number of people we have as fans from there. When I look at the logs, it's always off the chart. I can't figure out why this is, although my intuition tells me that you already know what a beautiful world this is, since you live in a spectacular place. I gather you take none of it for granted.
Do you have suggestions on where I should go and what I should see? Cone drop some advice and/or comments on the I'm Coming to New Zealand! page I just made! I have always wanted to come to New Zealand -- and I am so excited I can hardly stand it!
I'm thinking about doing a photowalk while there. Perhaps, also, if I have time, maybe even a 2-day workshop for a very limited number of people. I like to have a lot of one-on-one time. But, again, nothing planned... Drop me a note on the page above if you are interested -- also if you can help out with on-the-ground logistics!
Below is a map of newsletter subscribers - you can see how red-hot New Zealand is. At least, I mean, the part without sheep.
