"Few of us will ever experience the fun, excitement, and danger that a photojournalist encounters on assignment. While Phil Giriodi's photographic talents have been widely recognized, now in his new book, he shares the stories behind the pictures. It is a journey you won't want to miss."
"Giriodi's book is a delight to read. You'll feel as though you're beside him on assignment."
"Giriodi inspires you to expand your horizons and seek out adventure in your own life!"
Phil G. Giriodi has spent 50 years as a photojournalist on assignments in various parts of the world. He was awarded 31 national and international awards for his work as well as the coveted EMMY for Individual Achievement. Many of those years were spent with CBS Network News and 15 years with his own video production company in Hawaii. The author continues to produce videos for worthy causes while enjoying retirement with Gretchen, his wife of over 52 years, in Scottsdale, AZ.
