ABOUT THE BOOKS

The Sarcastic Lens series now sits at two books. Can a “series” consist of only two books? Well, this one does. The first book, subtitled: An Ordinary Couple's Photographic Journey through the Animal Kingdom was an amusing look at the varied wildlife around the world. Photographed on all seven continents, the book tried to include virtually every animal ordinary people could expect to find in one book—plus some extraordinary ones few people would even know.

Book Too, subtitled: An Alphabetical Tour of the World’s 100 Greatest Attractions (According to Us), takes the same humorous look at the greatest sites around the globe. These can be man-made, natural, or experiences. We visited over 80 countries and all seven continents to make sure no site was left unturned. Again, you can expect to find all the ones you know, plus some extraordinary sites that really need a better publicist.

While we expect that most readers will come for the photographs (and are inspired that two non-sophisticated photographers can take such amazing images), we hope you will stay for our stories. It is in these stories that we try to present the great wildlife and attractions of the world in a light-hearted, but informative way. Lastly, to our critics out there, that love the books, but complain that they are barely sarcastic, we say—maybe it is the two of us who are sarcastic. And it is our lens after all. Yes?

ABOUT THE AUTHORS

Can two people be more ordinary than Richard and Amy Lynn? Just look at their photo. Previously, they were better known for their sarcastic wit than for their photography and writing. Now they are becoming well known for their ability to combine all three skills into a series of books: The Sarcastic Lens: An Ordinary Couple's Photographic Journey through the Animal Kingdom and The Sarcastic Lens: An Alphabetical Tour of the World's 100 Greatest Attractions (According to Us).
