Dedicated to the many

family members, friends, mentors, teachers, and

complete strangers who helped me down the path

as a photographer during the past 40 years.

Sincere thanks are owed to many.

Thank you, ﬁrst and foremost, to Joe McNally.

Joe, thank you for being my friend, mentor, and

sounding board. Thank you for letting me tag

along on so many shoots. Thank you for the

introduction to Peachpit Press—without which

this book would not exist. Finally, thank you for

sharing your stories, photographs, and inspiration

with the global community of photographers.

Thank you to MD Welch—my friend on many

great photo adventures. Thank you for saying,

“Just push the H-button dummy!” Your succinct

introduction to high-speed sync truly altered

the path of my career as a shooter.

Thank you to the team at Peachpit Press for your

support and patience during the year it took me

to produce the Handbook. A special shout of

thanks is owed to my editor, Ted Waitt. Thank you

Ted for your mastery at focusing my thoughts and

for tirelessly coaxing me back onto my bike those

many times when the training wheels fell o.

Thank you to the legions of Canonistas around

the globe who shared their enthusiasm—both

online and in-person. Knowing that you are out

there, waiting for the Handbook, provided fuel for

my eorts when my energy ﬂagged.

Thank you to my Dad for your support of my

photo habit throughout my youth and for not

ﬂinching too much when I said that I wanted to

study photography in college. I know it’s been

close to three decades—but now you ﬁnally

have something to hold up and say, “Hey guys,

look what my kid did after all those years in

photo school!”

Thank you, most sincerely, to my childhood

sweetheart Amy and our three boys: Tom, Vin,

and Tony. Despite the year of havoc that the

Handbook brought into our home and the

extended periods of time that the project took

me away from home, all of you supported this

project enthusiastically and without hesitation.

Thank you to Zack Arias, for your boundless

friendship and for showing the world that we

don’t need a truckload of expensive gear to

create great light or a great life. The voice of

your OneLight philosophy sounds o every time

I head down the path burdened with too much

gear. Okay, I’ll admit that—sometimes—I run

down the path with my hands over my ears. Still,

OneLight continues to be an important grounding

rod for my journey as a photographer.

Thank you to my friends at Canon USA who gave

me their insights about the Speedlite system—

especially Rudy Winston, who answered my

dozens of emails promptly and with more depth

than I ever expected.

A ﬁnal time, thank you to all who helped turn a

dream into the Speedliter’s Handbook.

Thank you to my friends across the Atlantic at

and formerly at Canon Europe and Canon UK for

also sharing your insights—especially to Brian

Worley, who proactively reached across the

ocean to let me know that My Canon Speedlite

Wishlist had been seen by the right people.
