Joe McNally’s New Book “Sketching Light” is Shipping Before Christmas
According to Amazon, Joe McNally’s new book, “Sketching Light” (US$29.99), is now on pre-order and will start shipping on 22 December 2011. Joe blogged on his website earlier today and according to him, the book is a whopping 420 pages thick (432 according to Amazon). As he stated in the book intro, “There’s a ton of basic information in this book. there are pictures, sketches, production photos, notes, and metadata. In most instances, I’ve divulged virtually everything you could want to know about any particular shoot, short of the color of my boxers. They’re generally blue, by the way, though I do have a couple of pinstriped numbers, and on really big shoots I wear my lucky thong. Joe make joke.”
I don’t know about you but this one definitely is gonna be on my Christmas shopping list.
