Photographic Memories is a collection of articles, essays and commentary on the subject of photography from the perspective of a working and exhibiting photographic and digital artist. After creating photographs, and now digital art, for thirty-five years and running his own studio for twenty-three years Dale O'Dell has amassed a collection of articles previously published in the leading photographic magazines and essays and commentary on what it's really like to work as a creative artist every day. This isn't a theory or criticism book but something different. It's a three-hundred-and-sixty degree observation of life as viewed through the lens. These stories are funny, irreverent, poignant and at times hard-core. He pulls no punches and tells it like it is in plain language. It's not all glory, exotic locations, gallery openings and beautiful models!

Brought to you with honesty, intelligence and humor from one who's been-there and shot-that and survived to tell the tale.Nobody Cares About Your Stupid Pictures is a follow-up and companion volume to Dale O'Dell's 2009 book, "Photographic Memories - A look at life through the lens."Dale O'Dell is a photographer and digital artist.
