As much as I try to not get too commercial, there are some pretty remarkable programs going on right now and you need to know about them. I’ll keep it short and not oversell, but here are two that I want to share with you.
Cyber Monday Over At Kubota Image Tools
Yes, Kevin Kubota is a [...]
This wraps up five days in a row of great posts from the arsenal of education at Photoshop Cafe and Software Cinema. I saved this one for last simply because it’s got so much information and is the longest in the series. The key to succes though, rests with you taking the time to watch it, understand it [...]
Being an artist in today’s photographic industry is so dependent on understanding the various techniques of the craft and nobody understands that skill set better than Colin Smith. Besides sharing a ton of mutual friends, Colin and I share an incredible respect for quality. This isn’t just about the quality of his work, but of [...]
A number of years ago one my best buddies, Dean Collins, founded Software Cinema. Intended to become the leading how-to video production company in imaging, the company has done just that. Combining its reach and educational leadership with Photoshop Cafe you’ve got a powerhouse resource of how-to material just a click away.
Dean may have passed away almost [...]
Just trust me on this: Go get a cup of coffee and then sit back and watch Kevin Kubota, Jeff Medford and Ross Hockrow (the film-makers) in action on this video, How to Photoshop Everyone. Not only does Kevin deliver an award-winning presentation, but pay attention to the production values Ross and Jeff brought to the [...]
Over the last couple of years I’ve probably written a few dozen posts related to getting the most out of the various major trade shows and conventions. The importance of attending goes a lot deeper than just fine-tuning your skill set. A great show is about staying on top of technology and recharging your battery. [...]
Okay, so I’m going out on a limb this time – but I just said, “Oh hell, he’s a buddy, he’ll be okay if I publish what he sent me!” The most fun of having friends with different backgrounds and attitudes is the different way they all attack the challenges in business. Some are more left brain [...]
This is partly a rerun, but I promise it’s a good one. More important though is what prompted me this morning to run it!
At the end of last week I had to announce the cancellation of Julieanne Kost’s program as part of the Akron Photo Series on May 23 and 24. The challenge was simply getting enough [...]
The expression, time flies when you’re having a good time, has never been truer when it comes to buddy JB Sallee and his wife DeEtte. I first met JB at WPPI. He was our first Hy Sheanin Scholarship winner, going back eight years ago. He was single, getting married a short time after the convention [...]
I’m ecstatic to have another installment with a video tutorial from Jared Platt. In just eight minutes of viewing time he packs in a lot of time-saving information. This video is especially relevant, since black and white is such an important part of every photographer’s business.
I remember an incredible image of Paulina Porizkova taken [...]
