Jim Davis is Garfield's creator. He was born on July 28, 1945, in Marion, Indiana. Jim grew up on a small farm near Fairmount, Indiana, with his dad, Jim, his mother, Betty, and his brother, Dave. He used his family as characters in the Garfield comic strip, they were Jon Arbuckle's family. His father raised Black Angus cattle, and his mother took care of the family and the family's pets which were twenty-five cats. As a child Jim Davis was forced to stay in bed a lot and away from farm chores because of asthma. In an effort to keep occupied Jim Davis used to draw learning the basics of good drawing from his mother. During his childhood Jim Davis loved to read the Sunday comics, and counts the classic strips like "Peanuts" and "Beetle Bailey" as very influential to his cartooning career. Jim Davis attended Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana after high school and majored as an art and business major. After college he worked for an advertising agency for two years, then went on to assist Tom Ryan on the comic strip "Tumbleweeds". While working with Tom Ryan, Jim Davis tried many other things to supplement his income, one of which was coming up with his own comic strip. His first comic strip was called "Gnorm Gnat" it ran weekly in a Indiana newspaper, but after five years a foot fell out of the sky and crushed poor Gnorm. That was the end of the "Gnorm Gnat" comic strip. After a lot of hard work and time Jim Davis came up with the idea of Garfield. Since then Garfield has gone on to be a worldwide success.

A digital camera is functionally identical to a traditional film camera in all respects except image storage, right? Not at all, and Mikkel Aaland shows exactly why in his excellent Shooting Digital. He shows why digital cameras--the point-and-shoot variety as well as fancier models meant for professional photographers--are overall neither better nor worse than cameras of older design, and goes on to show you how to take advantage of their special traits. He shows how to compensate for their shortcomings, too, notably shutter lag (for which he documents a useful testing procedure) and color fringing. Though there's some coverage of creating animated GIFs, this book generally sticks to shooting time and leaves editing to other volumes.

Aaland never forgets that digital cameras should be more cameras than digital, and his book serves as an excellent photography text for hobbyists and aspiring professionals. The author's advice in this area is both technical (how to light a still life and how to best a strobe to eliminate shadows) and artistic (why kids should be encouraged to photograph other kids, and how you can use perspective to create weird effects). He's an accomplished photographer who obviously loves his work, and his enthusiasm for making art with a camera--and, for that matter, just playing with one--come through brilliantly. --David Wall

Topics covered:
Photography--of objects, people, places, action, nature, and other subjects--as accomplished with a modern digital camera. Emphasis falls on the relationship between camera and subject, as defined by focus, lighting, composition, and motion. Further attention goes to image manipulation accomplished via camera settings (like white balance and exposure, and, a little bit, to post-shoot processing with image software. There's also nice coverage of the differences among various image file formats.
