Good Afternoon Everybody,
The banners came out really cool too. Actually, they were going to be the subject of an upcoming Technique Tuesday, but the way things are going today and the fact that I’m out of the office most of tomorrow and most of Wednesday with no computer access may delay things a bit. Just know I’ll do my best.
A Few Quick Updates!
And while we’re on the topic of webcasts, I have also asked my good friend and Adobe Certified Expert, Suzette Allen, to present a webcast for us next month. Suzette’s webcast is going to be on October 6, 2011. So mark your calendars now and I’ll have additional information ready to post in the near future.
While we were at Photoshop World, Suzette was gracious enough to show me a few tips and tricks that were life/time savers for the HUGE banner project I’ve been working on. She saved the day for me – literally saved the day cutting my production time to a bare minimum. You wont believe her Photoshop voodoo magic till you see it “LIVE” at our upcoming webcast. Stay tuned, I’ll let you know as soon as we get the webcast set up – it will be a kick!
OK, it’s late but I still want to leave you with a few quick hits on this Monday afternoon. Here we go.
Fantastic Portrait Photographer – Marco Grob
After we returned home late Saturday I was just relaxing and picked up my latest issue of Time Magazine. In that issue was a special section featuring the 9/11 survivors. It was a great piece but what struck me was the outstanding portrait photography that accompanied the article.
Then later I was checking emails and I received some information from Hasselblad promoting their new top end camera. I headed over to their site and low and behold, there was Marco Grob again!
Anyway, you’ve got to check out his images right here. Take time to enjoy them – so many of them are simply outstanding examples of some of the finest portraiture I’ve ever seen! –Enjoy!

OK, I’m cutting my link list short today because of the late hour so I’m taking the easy way out and pointing you towards the good folks at LightStalking who have posted “55 Fantastic Photography Articles, Tutorials, Photos and Links” on all things photographic right here. It’s a way cool collection with a TON of information. I’m still working my way thru the list. Enjoy!
