All roads lead here
Six years ago, I started a little bulletin board because I wanted to learn more
about photography. I knew a great deal about Photoshop at that time, but myphotographic knowledge was limited. Digital SLRs were just becoming aord-
able, but quite frankly, the majority of existing bulletin board communities were
lled with giant egos and didnt give us beginners the answers we were looking
for. PhotographyBB was born.
Through writing Photoshop tutorials for my new community of beginners, it was
by chance that I was picked up as a Photoshop columnist for PBase Magazine.
After several editions, the editor (Arjun Roychowdhury) became a father and put
the magazine on hold to spend time with his family. With the void of no longer
writing for PBase, I decided that it was time for us to publish our own magazine
for beginner photographers. PhotographyBB Magazine was born.
Fast-forward four wonderful years and 54 magazine editions later, and I became a
father myself. I quickly discovered the time-management challenges of publish -
ing a magazine while striving to become a great Dad. PhotographyBB Magazine
was put on hold, and as time passed, I started to feel that we needed to retire the
magazine completely in order to serve our readership in a fresh new way. This
was just over one-year ago, and thats when CLARITY was born.
My life has changed dramatically through my photographic journey,
goal is for CLARITY to enhance your photographic experience. Were show you ways of continuing to develop your creativity,
improve your photography, introduce new concepts
and ideas, and most importantly how you can actu-
ally have a profound, positive impact on the lives of
others with your camera.
On behalf of our entire team at CLARITY,
thank you for subscribing. We truly
believe that photography is more
than just a craft, profession,
or hobby. Photography is a
lifestyle. I look forward to
your readership and I hope
that someday, when you
look back at your photographic
achievements, that CLARITY will
have been one turn on the road
that got you there.

My wife and I spent two weeks in Kenya
and Tanzania, which set our lives on a
new path. We came back with a love
for the Maasai people and the start of a crazy
journey. I never anticipated how my camera and
Kenyan kids would shake up the status quo.
In one of the safari camps, we struck up a con-
versation with our waiter. There was a quick
anity among us, an easy exchange. Willie
began to answer our questions about his family
and village. Willie radiated an enthu

emergencies. A long walk away.) W

On my rst trip to East Africa in1999, I hoped to return home with
a few good images. When I toucheddown in San Francisco, my camera,and my heart, held so much more.
