{"product_id":"vol-01-retro-camera-buying-guide","title":"Vol. 01: Retro Camera Buying Guide","description":"\u003cp\u003eA lot has changed since I wrote and published this first \u003cbr\u003e\nvolume of what became this guide series. One thing \u003cbr\u003e\nhasnÕt. I still have the same enthusiasm and joy in \u003cbr\u003e\nphotography I had way back at the beginning of the \u003cbr\u003e\nseries. I have a lot more knowledge and experience now \u003cbr\u003e\nand, occasionally even get close to taking good \u003cbr\u003e\nphotographs. ThatÕs the thing, see. I didnÕt know a lot \u003cbr\u003e\nwhen I originally wrote this guide. I had been working \u003cbr\u003e\nin photography since 1982 professionally. Everything \u003cbr\u003e\nI knew, pretty much, was self-taught. In general, thatÕs\u003cbr\u003e\nstill true. ThereÕs no need for you to do it all by yourself,\u003cbr\u003e\ntoo, though. This book and this series are meant to help\u003cbr\u003e\nyou get going with the basics fast. Yes, OK, I tend to \u003cbr\u003e\nrelate my own experiences, but that, too, is meant to\u003cbr\u003e\nhelp you avoid some basic mistakes I made. And, \u003cbr\u003e\nperhaps, I write in a tad too friendly manner, but think \u003cbr\u003e\nof it as sitting down with me to have a friendly talk \u003cbr\u003e\nabout a passion we share: Photography!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shawn M.
