"That magic of seeing a momentary capture of something almost beyond belief that makes you grab your camera," said Stephen Johnson, "that's why we love photography. And that's why I wrote this book."

Stephen Johnson (right) discusses the evolution of digital photography and his latest book, "Stephen Johnson on Digital Photography" with Derrick Story at Photoshop World 07 in Las Vegas.

Stephen was referring to Stephen Johnson on Digital Photography, his latest published work that is a comprehensive examination of many facets of photography.

Stephen and I talked about the book, his workshops, the craft of photography, and much more.
