Back in California for APA-LA

After a long delay, I am finally back to writing my Blog…. This week I will be in Santa Barbara and returning to Atlanta on the first of October. It has been a busy two weeks in Atlanta after Photoshopworld getting ready for the release of Photoshop CS4. Adobe has asked me to make presentations all across the US on their behalf to professional photography associations. 24 hours after the announcement of CS4, I was making my first presentation at The Creative Circus for the Atlanta Chapter of Advertising Photographers of America (APA). The program consisted of new features in both Photoshop CS4 and Lightroom 2. In this fast paced 2-hour program, I reviewed new features like Content-Aware Scaling and Extended Depth of field for a room full of pro photographers from around the Atlanta area. 24 hours later I was doing the program again for the Los Angeles chapter of APA. Chicago will be one of the next as Adobe lines up other cities for me to go to speaking to both chapters of APA and ASMP. Thanks to photographer Hugo Carrion for the great behind the scenes photos from the Atlanta program.

Last week I was in South Carolina doing a program for ASMP at the BMW Zentrum Theater. Spent the rest of the weekend with Helene and our family in Spartanburg celebrating her mother’s 92nd birthday. You would think that most people would be retired and relaxing at this age…. Not my mother-in-law… She runs her clothing store 6 days a week and travels around the country having fun. I get tired just watching her go.
While we were there, Helene and I took a trip to Asheville, North Carolina to visit the Biltmore House. We spent the day taking the tour of the largest home in the USA and taking photos around the estate.
