Exploring photography to inspire and teach
iPad photography app PhotoPad is one of the most downloaded free photography apps on the app store. The question is how does it fare against some of the great paying photo editor apps available?

So I’ve been playing with Apple’s iPad recently and have come to the conclusion that the it’s a great tool for photographers. You have a multitude of things you can do on it from using it as a digital frame, to editing your photos, to displaying images to your clients or potential clients.

I’ve written this review countless times and each one has sounded worse then the one before it and for a long time I didn’t realize why. Then it came to me; Annie is a great photographer and the book has tons of great photos but that is not the reason to buy the book. It’s the perspective she provides on the life of a photographer that makes this book. Annie gives you quite the ride through her career showing you how she got started, how she works and a little bit of what inspires her.
