No one has been immune from the past crazy decade of world conflict, poor economy and just tough times in general for the majority of the world–hopefully, as history dictates, the cycle will go up and not further down. Regardless, we’re all survivors and I thank each and everyone one of you that has helped support the gospel of photography.

I honestly think photography, while not a cure, is in fact an outlet to release and feel better for the moment, especially during these tough times.

The new decade and new year will start with the re-release of Photographic Therapy, the Power of Photography to Help Build or Rebuild Self-Esteem, and while it’s expanded from 77 pages to 105, plus a new chapter, images and the expansion of the photographic lighting chapter, it’ll still be free. Totally free, no gimmicks, no obligations, no worries. Those on the email list on http://www.freephotographybooks.com will be notified first! Again, no obligation, just be ready to download the printable PDF file when we announce it and please let all your friends and colleagues know so they too can share in the benefit of my fifth book, being free.

Well time to run and get ready for tonight’s festivities. I hope everyone has a safe and great time this weekend, and please, don’t forget in your prayers the service men and women who allow us to love in the free world. Don’t forget their friends and families, too, as they all, ultimately pay the biggest sacrifice in life. I salute you all! God bless you all too. Happy New Year and an even Better Decade! Rolando
