The Jennifer Barry Photobook
David has been a true inspiration to me this past year. I have always had a passion for photography but had kind of put in on the “shelf” so to speak, after my son was born. Yes, I took pictures of my son, but the creativity in photo taking had lost its edge. When I met David last year at the meet-n-greet before the concert, I had only brought my small point and shoot and used that to take the photos (specifically the “archugaze” shot and “bible” shot) that ended up being shown on fan site after fan site, more spec. I was very shocked to see the photos I had taken of David being loved by so many fans.
When I saw David at the AI Finale concert in Tulsa, OK, I was blessed and very very lucky to get 3rd row, next to the cat walk. I had never had an opportunity to take concert shots as I never had seats close to the stage. I had no idea what quality my photos would be of David as it was my first time to take photos like this of David. An angel above must have blessed me that night, as I was fortunate to take some pretty good pictures that even impressed me and I am a HUGE critic of my photos.
Because of all these photos I have taken and shared with all of David’s fans, I have had the amazing opportunity to meet so many people personally and via the web who share the same views as me and love David the same as me. This book represents how David rejuventated the photographic ”spark” in me. It was my goal, through this book, to show David the photos I have taken of him through his AI Tour this past year to headlining his own tour and I wanted to simply show him the photos that have made so many people happy, including me.
I truly believe I have been blessed because my photos are meant for all the fans to enjoy through their personal means and also so that my photos could help the many charities close to David. In no way do I think my photos of David are better than any other fans, I just wanted David to know how much it has meant to me that he helped rekindle my love for photography. I hope this book is something David and his family can look back on for years to come and know that David is and will always be David.

ABOUT THIS AUTHOR
Dear Jen,
Pictures have tales to tell and carry messages behind the face or moments captured by the lens, thus preserving the magical, emotional, or aesthetic experience connected with the subject matter.
But it takes special skills for photographs to illuminate meanings otherwise hidden from the naked eye. And what better way to immortalize such meanings through David’s journey than with a photobook, esp one taken by an inspired talent?
With your generous spirit, you brought the joy of David to a lot of people but more importantly, to many more people who could not be there.
Thank you so much for wonderfully presenting & sharing the unmediated copy of David’s world.
Out of topic but just need to repost from previous thread:

Good morning everyone!
Jennifer, Your photos of David are some of the most beautiful I have seen of all the thousands taken of him, including his professional photo-shoots. He is a breathtaking subject, but your keen eye seems to catch him at just the right moment. I thank you for giving us moments we can cherish forever!
Jennifer, I met you at the SLC airport inside a restaurant while waiting for our respective flights (I went up to you to introduce myself because I recognized you). Your photographs are breadth taking and thank you for sharing them with the rest of us.
Jennifer, I love your photos of David. The two I purchased from you in SLC are now framed and in a very special place. You have an amazing talent and it’s so nice that you are recording all of them for David in this amazing book. Thank you for all your time spent in capturing these special moments of David for him and his fans.
Jennifer, I met you outside of the E-Center in SLC. We were waiting down below. I could tell that you were some sort of serious with your photography by the camera that was hanging around your neck. I saw you several time thru the concert wandering around doing some shooting. For some reason, I took note of your FOD name badge and remembered your name. When I saw the photos of the concert, it was exciting to know that I had informally met you. My husband was impressed with your pictures, also. Your pictures are always breathtaking, and your ability to capture David is amazing!
