2013 Imaging USA

 This last week was another great PPA Imaging USA in Atlanta. Helene and I missed the last two conferences, so it was nice to reunite with all our photographer friends that we haven't visited with in a while. 

I did a new Canon Explorers of Light program in the trade show on the use of tilt/shift lenses that went well. Look forward to expanding the program in the future.

The trade show was well attended and lots of new photo gear to see.

Nancy Emmerich, Don Dixon, and Julieanne Kost show us their bling.

We had our closing party at the Georgia Aquarium. Great place for a big party.

Helene takes a few fisheye photos of fish with the I-Phone.

Maui Time

           No matter how many times I visit the island of Maui, I never stop being amazed at the scenery there.  Just spent the last ten days enjoying the Valley Isle and took over a thousand images for fun…. Here are a few to take a look at.    Click on any image to enlarge.

      

Back From The Show

       Back from another great Photoshop World. I actually got to attend some classes for the first time in many shows. We are usually too busy to see other classes other than the ones we teach. Need to move forward with video so I took classes with Richard Harrington on learning Adobe Premiere and an InDesign class with Terry White. The highlight is always hosting “The Art of Digital Photography” panel with this great lineup of Photographic Artists. Helene had a new panel class called “Women in Film” with Lisa Snider and Judy Host that was really great and her posing and lighting class was standing room only… It's defiantly the busiest show of them all…  

On The Road Again

            With Photoshop World Las Vegas just around the corner, Helene and I are gearing up for some new programs that we are presenting. Helene will be hosting a new panel “Women in Photography” and I will be doing some new composite and prototype retouching classes. This will be my 25^th Photoshop World as an instructor and I am just as excited to be there as if it was my first time… always a great learning experience.     http://photoshopworld.com

            Helene and I will be holding some weekend workshops at Brooks Institute in Santa Barbara in October. We have updated the workshop information and are offering a $200 off coupon until September 14, 2012 for both workshops.  Follow the links below for details.
