Wow… What a fast packed two weeks…. Just back from my two-week Photoshop/Lightroom tour of Canada. Although I didn’t have much time to see each place, I got some good exposure to all the different areas of this beautiful country. My special thanks goes out to Gordon Scade, Professional Photographers Of Canada’s Education director who accompanied me throughout the tour. We had great weather, on-time flights, great hotels and food, and friendly faces everywhere we went. From Vancouver, British Colombia, all the way to Halifax, Nova Scotia, we had great feedback on the tour. Our last stop in Montreal brought us to a very nice Château in the country side where I did a two day hands on class to French speaking pros…. They did a great job of keeping up with my English, but thing got a little strange for me when I discovered their French versions of Photoshop and French computers have totally different setups. All my keyboard shortcuts were a little out of place and we spent time working through the hands on projects. From removing a 5’oclock shadow from a portrait to complex displacement mapping montages, they keep right up with me and had a great time with all of it…. Their English was a lot better than my French, but everybody communicated together through the international language of digital photography and art. Gordon keep me living the good life while I was on tour... Took some time to get a little sightseeing in....... Then back to classes... and then back to sightseeing...... Back in Santa Barbara, Helene taught a class on creativity and creating greeting cards, so we both got a good tune up for what’s next.... PHOTOSHOPWORLD 2008 - LAS VEGAS PHOTOSH Back in the studio to get caught up for a few days on shooting, then off again to another Las Vegas Photoshop World. I will be in Las Vegas for the week of Sept 1st and I am looking forward to another jam-packed week of both teaching and learning. For the first time I am changing my Pre-Conference 4-hour class to a live shooting session, so we have our work cut out for us. Have lots of help and support from Helene, Fred, Steve, Jean-Francois and Hugo to make these sessions run smoothly. Could not pull this off with out their help. Of course, Helene will have her hands full teaching digital portraiture, Marketing and running the Portfolio review for attendees wanting feedback on their photography work for the Photoshop World attendees. This is a job that takes weeks of work ahead of time coordinating the PSW attendees with the proper instructor for feedback that really counts. Planning a day of shooting with Fred and Helene before it all starts around Las Vegas, and hope to fit in a nice show before we leave.
