PSW Photo Safari Redux
Well, I jumped at the chance to do the NAPP Photo Safari again with Moose Peterson and Joe McNally at Photoshop World. We had the privilege of getting to work with the fine people of the Bonnie Springs Ranch. They are such wonderful people to get to spend time with again. They are willing to [...]
Vegas Time lapse
I got checked in last night for Photoshop World 2012 (west coast edition), and my room this year at Mandalay Bay is on the 34th floor looking down the strip. So, I thought I would give a shot a making a little time lapse video from the hotel window last night. This video is over [...]

I am in Las Vegas for my annual trek to Photoshop World. Although the conference starts on Tuesday with my photo shoot with Joe McNally and Moose Peterson, (along with 60 of my closest friends) this year I came down extra early to Vegas for a couple of reasons. The first is that I needed [...]
Why I spent the day with Zack Arias
On Wednesday this week, I had the privilege to take part in Zack’s One Light Workshop in Seattle. This wasn’t my first time to get to meet and listen to Zack. I have seen him at Photoshop World, watched his course on Creative Live and I own a copy of his DVD. You could say [...]
