In addition to writing and narration, Andy is an avid photographer whose mindful approach to visual storytelling shapes both his images and the world's within Sleepytime Tales. Here is a small selection of Andy's professional photography available for licensing on Shutterstock.
How did FocusSpede Publishing get its name?
Let's start with the first part; the word "Focus".
Taking good photos requires focus - and so does the mindfulness practiced in the stories we tell. Andy's creative storytelling, photography and narration services demand his full attention and focus!
The second part of 'FocusSpede' is more playful.
Our odd spelling of FocusSpede was intentional - the four letters "S-p-e-d" happen to be the first initials of the names of Andy's grandkids. And, graphic artists use a technique called focus speed in drawing to indicate the speed of movement or action and emotions. We just flipped the last two letters around to be different .
FocusSpede Publishing is all about creativity in storytelling, by writing or illustrating storybooks, narrating audiobooks, and capturing photos and videos that tell a story.
Sleepytime Tales is our first children's storybook, and we've already started working on the next imaginative tale.
