Don’t Miss Out: Digitalfest 2010 – Next Week!
Wow, can you believe that it’s Digitalfest time already? The annual photography training and expo event hosted by my good friends (and occasional sponsor) Pictureline is happening next week in Salt Lake City. If you haven’t already snagged your ticket, then head on over to their website and pick one up. Again this year, the $25 cost of the ticket will be given back to everyone who attends in the form of a Pictureline gift card. How cool is that?!? :)
For more information, here’s the ad graphic about the speakers. I hope to see you at the event.
Checking in from Photoshop World

Sean, Nicole and me outside the House of Blues at the After Hours event
It’s day three at Photoshop World in Las Vegas and I thought I’d check in. It’s been an extremely busy and productive couple days so far. I have been in sessions taught by Scott Kelby, Russell Brown and Calvin Hollywood. The challenge is going to be retaining all the info that is fired my way.
It was great to spend some time at a few social events last night. (Warning: Name Dropping Ahead!) At one point I had to sit back and think “Wow!” when I found myself in a conversation around the table with Scott Bourne, Zack Arias, Sean Locke and Nicole Young.
This morning I’m headed into a couple lighting sessions taught by Joe McNally.
See you down the road…
Road Trip: Photoshop World Vegas
I’m off for a week of playing in the sun of Las Vegas. That is if you define “Playing in the Sun” as sitting in dark hotel conference rooms for several days. Yes, it’s time for the annual trek to Photoshop World. It’ll be great to meet up with some friends while improving my Photoshop chops. Updates to the blog will probably be sporadic this week, but rest assured I’ll be keeping busy :)

Driver’s Education Photo Shoot
Here’s a quick sample from the “Driver’s Education” stock photo shoot I did last week. Keep an eye on my portfolio for the image series to appear soon.

Face Painting in the Studio
In preparation for a certain upcoming holiday that involves costumes and candy, I had a couple nice folks in the studio for a face-painting stock photo shoot. It was really cool to watch the artist work through the process of creating the mask on the young model’s face. Watch for this series to show up in my stock image collection soon.

From Photofocus.com: So You Want to Shoot Stock?
My friend Scott Bourne did a nice write-up yesterday on the Photofocus blog about me and being a stock photographer. Thanks for the kind words, Scott!
