the real deal Sep 13, 2011
By D. elfenbein
I was excited to read Dale's book as I am a photographer myself. I was interested to learn how a seasoned professional photographer and teacher got his start as well as to read his thoughts, memoirs and provocative short stories relating to his long career and experiences along the way. My favorite story was based in an area of supposed `ufo activity'. The piece was entertaining and thought provoking and that story has never left my mind. The book has useful, truthful information and thoughts to ponder if you are choosing photography as a career and your field of interest such as Art photography or Commercial; 2 Very different worlds! It is also an honest and fun read! I would recommend this book to amateurs and pros alike as it is a genuine story from a multi talented, professional photographer and illustration artist that not only shoots but has written many books. No art speak involved, or sales pitches on "how to be a photographer".

Photographic Memories is an informative and fun read. The short stories and essays are entertaining and give insightful details about the inner workings of the photography world; something I knew little about. A truly enjoyable read.
For ALL Artists in Any Medium Jun 21, 2010

Anyone interested in photography, commercial graphics, fine art, artist's representation, advertising, web development or real life experiences of an individual dealing with the corporate and art communities will benefit from reading this book. It is written by a photographer who has many years of real world experience both in commercial and fine art photography.
Dale O'Dell is as good with words as he is with images. His colorful and sometimes funny descriptions of the life experiences of a freelance working photographer paint a realistic picture of how it is "out there". Dale doesn't pull any punches, so sometimes his viewpoints, even though clear and true, may sometimes slightly offend people that may not believe all the pitfalls one must look out for in the art community. That said, I would recommend this book to anyone looking for insights of what it's like to make a living as ANY kind of artist.
I highly recommend this book for a humorous look at the art world, a little taste of reality and some clever insights from a person who has 'walked the walk'.
He can back up his words with some outstanding, cutting edge work that can be seen at [...] and [...]
life with or without the lens Mar 29, 2010
By L.Kennedy
Each chapter stands alone and provides a well thought out and insightful look at not only the complex and often bizzare world of photography, but life as well. The author writes in a candid style that can be refreshingly sarcastic. Photographic Memories takes a healthy bite out of the stilted language we have come to associate with describing art or fine wine. It reminds us that art and wine first have to appeal to the visceral before we ascribe some lofty, esoterical verbage to it.

Not just a book about Photography.
Interesting Book, Not only for the Look into Photography's ins and outs, but an interesting look at a Life in Progress that is Flexible with Opportunities and Innovative Changes.
