David duChemin has been a tear these past three years or so. For a man who has chosen a visual medium as his profession he has also proven to be quite the writer and penning 4 print books and numerous ebooks as well as regular posts on his blog, www.pixelatedimage.com. Today he release the third and final ebook in his “The Inspired Eye” ebooks, The Inspired Eye, Vol. 3
Ever since coming across a copy of “Within The Frame” in my favorite local-and now closed(!)-Borders book store I have always enjoyed David’s writing. He writes about matters close to my heart and does so with eloquence and humor-though he would spell that “humour.” He tends to focus not on the “how to” of photography but rather on the “why” of photography. This book, and this series, focus on creativity: it’s joys and it’s challenges.
Having ridden some creative highs in the past few years, experienced the challenges of creativity overflow (too much going out with not enough coming in), as well as a personal low through physical injuries, surgery and months of rehab, David knows about the rewards and challenges of the creative life. And he pours it into this book.
Filled with humor, anecdotes, quotations, images shot mostly on his iPhone, and sound, soulful advice and direction, this book encourages us to take action on our creative path and warns against pitfalls along the way. Drawing from his own personal experience as well as the wisdom of creative people from history David weaves a wonderful read with a motivating and encouraging voice. I recommend it.
