Amanda Koster: Can I Come with You?

amanda-coverSpeaking of new works of art, my friend Amanda Koster is coming out with her first book next month.  By day, Amanda is a full-time assignment photographer. She dedicates the rest of her time to social documentary (and cooking fabulous meals). This book, made up of her photographs and personal journal entries, describes how everyone use their creative talents to change the world. 

I love Amanda’s work — in fact, I have at least 7 of her photos hanging in my house right now — more than any other photographer (including me!). 

Amanda’s book is available for presale at her publisher’s web site.  She’s also having a lecture & signing on September 18.  Those who buy a ticket get a free book (or, if you prefer, you get a free ticket for buying the book).  Either way, go here right now to buy one or the other.  I’ve already got my order in.
