About 
All through college I took detailed photography notes for all of my classes in a lined notebook. I still have it. It is like a peek into my past, and to look at it shows my growth as I learned more about photography. My favorite entries are the ones where I not only took my technical notes, but wrote about other things that were happening when I was out photographing. It is really amazing to be able to not only refer to the way I made an image, but what I was feeling and what was going on around me at the time I took the photo too.That is where the inspiration for my field notebook came from. I designed it for any photographer to be able to not only take the technical notes, but write other thoughts in it as well. As all photographers know, creating an image is so much more than walking around and pushing a button. Personal feelings often affect how we want to show our subject.
