Bad news, M.A.L.adies...

The Photographer You Love To Hate is now a published author as well. Yes, Marc Adamus is a part of the writing team that put together Mountain Trail Photo's just-published The Ultimate Guide To Digital Nature Photography.

I've seen a copy of the book, and, at first glance, it seems one of the best guides currently available. But what makes it especially memorable is, as one might expect, the collection of beautiful photographs accompanying the text -- and those who wish to spread the myth that Marc Adamus's photos are some sort of wild, unrealistic product of Photoshop trickery are going to be in for a rude awakening. Throughout the book, Adamus's images are among the most restrained and realistic. Compared to contributors like Ian Plant, Nye Simmons, or George Stocking, Marc Adamus comes across as pretty much a strict purist of classical nature photography.

So, Marc Adamus is now among the ranks of published authors. As to your own attempts to become widely-read author(s)...well, I'm afraid I have some bad news for you there, too. You see, the janitor down at your local Wal*Mart has just cleaned the graffiti in the men's room stalls. So, I guess you're back at square one on that whole "author" bit. Pity.
