`Dedication
`This book is dedicated to the two mothers in my life. The first is my mother,
`Nathalie Plotkin. She first encouraged my interest in photography (and
`later in writing), helped me to set up my first darkroom, and taught me
`to use a camera as more than just a "snapshot machine." She raised
`three sons (our pictures are sprinkled through the book, as is hers)
`—a doctor and two engineers—and instilled in all of us a strong
`sense of values that has served us well.
`
`The other mother is my mother-in-law. A true "gift from God," she stayed
`with us and took care of my wife during her long recuperation after
`major surgery so I could get this book written on schedule. Every
`person should be blessed with such a family member!
