This should be called “The Kevin Ames Chapter.”

Actually, it really should be called the “I Hate Kevin

Ames Chapter” because I already had this entire

chapter written, until I stopped by Kevin’s studio in

Head Games

Atlanta one night to show him the rough draft of the

book. What should have been a 15-minute visit went

on until after midnight, with him showing me some

amazing portrait retouching tricks for the book. So

I had to go back home and basically rewrite, update,

and tweak the entire chapter. Which I can tell you, is

no fun once you think a chapter is done and you’re

about a week from deadline, but the stuff he showed

me was so cool, I literally couldn’t sleep that night

because I knew his techniques would take this chapter

to the next level. And even though Kevin was incredi-

bly gracious to let me share his techniques with my

readers (that’s the kind of guy Kevin is), there was no

real way I was going to name this chapter “The Kevin

Ames Chapter.” That’s when it became clear to me—

I would have to kill him. But then I remembered

Kevin had mentioned that Jim DiVitale had developed

some of the techniques that he had showed me, so

now it was going to be a double murder. I thought,

“Hey, they both live in Atlanta, how hard could this

be?” but the more I thought about it, what with

having to fly back up there and having to fly on Delta

(stuffed in like human cattle), I figured I’d just give

them the credit they deserve and go on with my life.

Thus far, it’s worked out okay.
