By Richard Koci Hernandez

I want to share a project that recently started out as notes/worksheets to help a few workshop attendees and turned into a 60 page book. This project has forced me to practice what I’ve been preaching and I hope it can help you or someone you know. So spread the word! It’s already become a Blurb Best Seller.

The book is packed with over 50 creative exercises and ideas to get you thinking creativity about photography, video, audio and multimedia in general. It’s also packed with some great resources, which I plan to post as a PDF download- the resources that is, not the book- but you can get a sneak peak by downloading the first 15 pages of the book as a PDF, here.

My new book is hot off the presses at Blurb! Take a peek and
place your order if you’re so inclined.

I hope you enjoy the book -if you choose to purchase- it’s from the heart, tnxs,

    Bought your book. It arrived yesterday. What a beautiful and inspirational libro. I love the design and the photographs, I assume they are all yours? Anyway, just wanted to say thank you and I’ve already embarked on a few of the creative exercises. I have a feeling this is going to be fun.

    OT:Complaint department please:tried to watch your lecture (New Media-U of Calif).Could not get it to stream. I have a very fast connection and a computer that dims the lights in the neighborhood when I turn it on.
    It would be really cool if I could download it some where. I teach and would like to show it to students but the streaming is painfully wrought with hiccups. Not your party I know: but it’s a great piece of communication (I think….only able to receive about every other word)
    It’s encoded small enough: download link pretty please
    Would like to see your hard work without the drop cuts.
