In my years of civilian and military activity, I did work as a photographer and a juggler.

I had the Navy school in photography for a comprehensive understanding of the field, the different formats, and effective applications. Later I worked as a portrait photographer, photographing over 10,000 people.

I learned juggling in a high school physical education class and stuck with it later doing shows in night clubs and small carnivals. I also eventually trained over 200 people to juggle.

I decided to write books on both endeavors and share them.

I had taken many photographs in high school for the school newspaper and the yearbook, but it was the Navy's photography school that trained me in the field.

There I learned how to select the correct film for the job, the chemistry behind film processing, how to determine the right combination of shutter speed and f-stop for the right exposure, and formatting the photograph before I press the shutter button.

After my first four years in the Navy, I became a civilian again and as a portrait photographer, photographed over 10, 000 people.

This book provides much of the same knowledge (except for the film processing) in an easy to understand method.

It will also explain the magic behind the f-stop in a way very few books cover.

I started juggling at a time when everyone else was learning how to play a guitar. At that time I just wanted to do something that was different. One of the coaches at the high school also handled the gym class. Periodically, he would have us do something different. For example, there were two weeks we learned fencing. Then we learned the basics of juggling. There's nothing like watching 40+ guys chasing bouncing rubber balls around a gym. Anyway, I got a kick out of it and kept doing it as a hobby. A friend of mine and I teamed up and did a comedy juggling routine for a talent show in college and won first place! I later developed routines where I juggled swords and fireballs in night clubs and small carnivals.
