I spent my first seminar with Monte in 1979 at the Indiana PPA State Convention. I remember getting to the hotel very late - about 1 am - and Monte was setting up his images for his day long presentation the following day. His images were fresh and new - they took my breath away. When it came to wedding photography, he was a breath of fresh air that the industry needed. Wedding photography today is pretty much flat and 2 dimensional. We are losing the lost art of "posing, lighting, and composition. That's to bad, because those aspects of the art can bring a beautiful and different view to the wedding day coverage. Setting you apart from what the average photographer is doing. Anyway, I digress, Monte passed away earlier this year, but his book, just released is a wonderful tribute to his contributions to the art of classic photography. You can get the whole story on Monte's book right here along with links to purchase it.
