Author Bio

David Busch
Before David D. Busch was seduced by the dark side of technology, he was a professional photographer. He's made his living as a sports photographer for an Ohio newspaper and an upstate New York college; he's operated his own commercial studio and photo lab; and served as photo-posing instructor for a modeling agency. People have actually paid him to shoot their weddings and immortalize them with portraits. He's written several thousand articles on photography as a PR consultant for a large Rochester, N.Y. company which shall remain nameless. His trials and travails with imaging and computer technology have made their way into print in book form, including eight tomes on scanners and six on photography. Hometown: Ravenna, Ohio.
