"Why?" - With Joe McNally

Image copyright Joe McNally. All rights reserved.

I started "Why?" because I wanted to share more than just great images from the most-respected artists in photography. I wanted to find a way to share each unique back-story, as only they could tell.   

Every image has a story behind it, and this is truly a fun one. This new image is by Joe McNally, one of the industry's favorite great guys.  We all have our heroes in this industry, and Joe is one of mine. He's a photographer, artist, educator, writer, friend and never stops sharing his insight into imaging, business and here and there, even life. 
 
I wanted to share a few of the highlights from Joe's "about page" and pulled a couple below. If you don't know a lot about his background, just click on the image above to link to his website.
