Daniel wrote the first biography of J.R.R. Tolkien. Originally called, "J.R.R. Tolkien: Architect of Middle Earth", it was was initially published in trade paperback (Running Press), then mass paperback (Warner Books) and finally in hard cover (Grosset & Dunlap). It has been in continuous publication for over a quarter century (under a variety of titles), has been translated into numerous languages around the world, and once had the singular distinction of being the most stolen book out of libraries. (Hence, a special hard cover library edition was released a few years ago). Books on Digital PhotographyAs a photographer, Sally became fascinated by the potential of digital cameras from almost the very beginning (starting in 1991). She no longer shoots with her film-based Leicas and Haselblads, using only digital for all her art. Along the way, she and Daniel have tested and reviewed nearly every digital camera on the market, presented scores of seminars, and written various books on the subject. But, as Sally often says, "Digital photography is photography, pure and simple... the play of light and color on the imagination. The digital aspect of it is the tool we use to create our art and capture our memories. It's like a car -- understanding the mechanics isn't what gets you where you want to go." Daniel and Sally's books on digital photography are popular for the depth of their knowledge, clarity of insight and great accessibility. They have been frequently praised for making digital photography easy to understand and fun. Daniel and Sally's newest books on photography (all illustrated by Sally) are: |
