Back in the early 1980s when I was a photography student, I had many ambitions. The top three were: To photograph a glossy, new camera brochure for Nikon; to have my work published by National Geographic, and to have a high-quality "coffee table" book published.
I managed the first two on the list but the third, getting a book published, had eluded me. A few years ago, I was offered a joint authorship with another photographer to produce a ‘How To’ book. For various reasons (ego, stupidity, ignorance, etc.) I turned it down, which I have regretted ever since.
