Playing the Photoshop Quiz Game

If you’ve wondered what it’s like to play my app the Photoshop Quiz Game, wonder no more! Here’s a quick video that shows the experience of playing on an iPad. And yes, I did deliberately answer a couple of questions incorrectly to show what that looks like

Photoshop World 2012 Las Vegas

admin — Mon, 10 Sep 2012 13:15:47 +0000

Well, another Photoshop World has come and gone – number 23 for me – and as always, it was amazing! I met tons of great people, had a blast teaching classes, answering questions, cruising the Expo floor and seeing old friends. I was interviewed for a few podcasts (Photo Focus, Tamara Lackey and Frank Doorhof) and I even snuck in a trip over to Nelson, one of the coolest places ever to shoot.

If you’ve never been to a Photoshop World, it’s really unlike any other conference. Although there is a trade show, PSW is really about education – even the Expo floor has multiple free classes going on. PSW is for photographers, designers, and any creative soul that uses Photoshop. One of the best parts of PSW is the amazing people you meet who share your interests!

The next one in is Orlando April 2013, so start planning now to attend!

World Wide Photo Walk

admin — Fri, 24 Aug 2012 16:00:49 +0000

Once again this year I’ll be hosting a Photo Walk as part of the worldwide event. it’s Saturday October 13th and my walk is going to be a little different: it’s a “walk in the park” with a bunch of models in intereting “sets”. Things like a retro picnic, alice in wonderland…who knows what you’ll find to shoot. After the walk we’ll be having a little BBQ.

Clearing things up

admin — Tue, 21 Aug 2012 12:49:54 +0000

When I left the employment of the National Association of Photoshop Professionals (NAPP) in March 2011, one of my goals was to make the change as “transparent” as possible so that NAPP members and others wouldn’t see a big difference. The folks at NAPP agreed and continued to have me write for the magazine, do tutorials etc. Well, I guess I did too good a job, because even to this day people say “Oh, you don’t work for NAPP any more?”

So in case it wasn’t clear, I am no longer a NAPP employee. I am still on great terms with my friends over there and continue to do work for them here and there. But my main income now is through the training center/rental photo studio I own in the Tampa area. I also have released a couple of apps (with more to come) and am working on a few other interesting ideas.

The point of the post is to make sure that everyone knows that although I continue to have a great relationship with NAPP, I no longer am an employee. I am more available than in the past to speak at events, do on-site training, etc.

And check out my new monthly membership for studio rentals at Studio 3.
