  • "In my career as a professional travel photographer, well over half my time on location is spent seeking out the good angles. It's time consuming, dull, and very frustrating. Andrew Hudson's PhotoSecrets does all that legwork for you, so you can spend your time photographing instead of wandering about. Hudson has thoroughly scoured the city and will tell you where and when to go to get the best possible pictures. I wish I had one of these books for every city I photograph on assignment."

    -Bob Krist, travel photography columnist for National Geographic Traveler magazine. Bob's pictures have appeared in National Geographic, Travel & Leisure, Travel/Holiday, and Islands.
