So there I am, standing outside of the Precon room acting silly and saying hi to folks in the hallway. PSW has such a charged atmosphere that you can’t help but be affected by it. I was there with folks from NAPP being our usually goofy selves when a gentleman was brought up to me for introductions. Matt said, “This is Ali!” I think I had a confused look on my face when Matt said, “The guy on Scott’s blog this morning.” For those who don’t remember the story, in brief, he was granted a visa to come to the states from Iran (that’s right, Iran!) because he said he was going to Photoshop World! Now how cool and amazing is that! Well, I was very fortunate to shoot with Ali and get to know him the rest of that day and during the conference. I feel very fortunate that I can now say I have a friend and know a talented photographer in Iran. Photography, it’s a small world! He’s gotta purty cool website, check it and his work out here.

Sharon & I had truly a great PSW in part because of ALL the really amazing young photogs we got to meet and know. Christopher here is just one of those folks who though we only talked briefly, when you check out his work, you’ll understand how Sharon & I got so excited by these young folks. Darn cool! Give it a gander and lets support these up and coming photogs!

Seriously, I mean seriously! Yeah, I saw it coming but I would really have loved being wrong. Why in the hell don’t they just raise the damn ticket price to cover this crap and get it over with?! Oh yeah, it’s so the ticket price is lower when you compare prices that’s because we’re so stupid we forget how you ding us for check-in luggage, cokes and peanuts (oh yeah, no more peanuts, forgot that) and the rest when we check in. Calm down Moose, you can fly 1st class and avoid those fees. There’s the answer!

David Cardinal & I are very proud to be able to offer you what we feel is still the #1 DAM program for the working pro or serious shooter to organize, file, find and work with your digital files. Just what does DigitalPro 6 have for you, just check this out!
The first & ONLY DAM program to offer Image Validation & Cloning for secure backup and protection against image corruption.
- Batch editing — Launch a series of images or an image stack into a single editor session. Very useful for HRD & Panorama automation as well as editing a series of images at once into Photoshop Camera Raw.
- Image Stacks — Stack images together to be processed as a group. Perfect for easier handling and viewing of the images which make up your panoramas or HDR exposures–or just to make your workflow simpler by grouping similar images together for viewing and filing.
- Saved Searches — You can now save the searches you create using the Find command. They are saved along with your other Project folders and can be re-run with a single click at any time.
- Additional pre-defined searches. In addition to finding all the images created near the time or date of an existing image pre-defined searches have been added to show you all the images you have taken today, this week and this month.
- SQL Display — You can show the SQL that DigitalPro uses for its find commands. This makes it easy for anyone familiar with database tools to use a SQLite compatible database browser to create their own queries and use the DigitalPro catalog database in their own custom tools.
- Additional Custom Editors: To accommodate the increasing number of image editing tools the number of custom editors which DigitalPro can remember has been increased from 4 to 6.
- Faster folder display. Most folders now display significantly more quickly due to significant improvements in catalog performance.
You head to the DigitalPro6 page and you’ll find not only more information (and ordering links of course), but the first five new videos I’ve created to help you make the most of the program. Check it out, you’ll learn the secret behind my getting so much work done in such little time!

Photoshop World was just fantastic! The creative folks at NAPP have posted their recap video which you should watch. What you have here are just a bunch of clicks I made with the D3s, 24f1.4 or 50f1.4AFS. It was a great Photoshop World, one helluva a good time!

I’ve seen Whooping Cranes, way off in the far away distance where heat shimmer made making a click impossible. I would really love to be able to photograph them. You might want to give this a gander, these issues might become broader and more common in the near future effecting a lot more than just the Whoopers!
