The man is creating a legacy that will outlive him, outlive us all. His work is simply stunning and I highly recommend you pick up a copy of his new book, Within The Frame, whether you're into photography, or just into seeing images that will endure the test of time. Or you could come to our party next week, when we will be giving away two autographed copies...
(The third copy, autographed especially for me, will be here and you're welcome to come and read it anytime you want. As long as your hands are clean. And you're not one of those jerks that turn a page from the bottom of the book so that it almost tears the page. You know what I mean? Those people who turn the page from almost the bottom by pushing the whole page, getting fingerprints all over and almost tearing the paper? I hate those people. As long as you're not one of those and your hands are clean, you're welcome to come and look at the book.)

:) I let a friend of mine look at my copy, but before I handed it over, I asked if her hands were clean.

Damn, you are particular about page-turners, but then I am too. I won't even let myself read my copy of WTF.

Hi there,
Thank you for the thoughtful review of Within the Frame. I work for Peachpit Press and thought you and your readers would like to know that David duChemin has a special podcast series in the works where he gives his own personal feedback on YOUR photos. You can submit them through flickr and, if chosen, he'll let you know what he thinks! More info can be found here: http://tr.im/m85w
The premiere episode is now live on Peachpit TV and you can view it here: http://tr.im/mzLy
