http://f-elevenbooks.com/

f-elevenbooks.com/ is going to be the home base for f-eleven publications and blog as well as some informational links as to the charities benefiting from our various group efforts. The website looks great and was thrown together quickly and masterfully by Brooks Ayola, a wonderful commercial photographer working out of the San Fernando Valley (the very same SFV that I grew up in. Of course when I was growing up in The Valley, as it's commonly referred to, it was still mainly strawberry fields, corn fields, horse ranches, some orange groves and the like. It was a cornucopia then, now it's know as pornacopia...but I digress).

This page
is where all the photographers who participated in volume one are listed with some additional bio material on each person. It's always fascinating to me to read how differently people relate to photography and how and why they use their cameras the way that they do. Same tool, so many different POVs. Anyways, check out that page and see some of the interesting photographers in f-eleven, the book, which can be found (with a full preview!) here.
