Many of us use two monitors. The main reason for
this is to use one for Photoshop and the other for
Photoshop’s Tool Palettes. Many monitor calibration
tools will calibrate both monitors but there’s a
problem in applying calibrations to the correct
monitors. But now there is a Microsoft utility,
Microsoft Color Control Panel, which allows you to
assign specific profiles to specific devices. Follow the

As our little Bailey gets bigger, she gets more and
more curious. Lately she’s discovered toads, toilet
paper, and turf. The toads she just pushes around
with her nose and she’ll occasionally carry one
around in her mouth. The toilet paper she grabs and
starts running with, letting it trail behind her
throughout the house. Ever had the inside of your
house tp’d? She’s also getting fond of pulling up
clumps of grass or moss from the lawn and bringing it
inside to spread about.
I'm about to go away on another workshop so my wife will have her hands full for awhile keeping up with our cuddly little bundle of teeth and tail. |

The weather was a little strange in the Death Valley
area last month. We even got snowed on one
morning as we were heading into the valley from our
base in Beatty, NV. Since a sunrise wasn’t going to
happen anyway, we opted for more sleep and
breakfast. A wise choice if I do say so myself.
We did end up with some nice situations though. If you’re ever in Death Valley and you’re into photographing old things, be sure to check out the museum at Furnace Creek. It’s an outdoor museum with old stage coaches, logging equipment, a diesel engine, a locomotive, and lots of other interesting stuff. Scotty’s Castle was also nice. For both of these places we took advantage of the overcast weather, perfect for that type of photography. On our last morning we were blessed with clear skies and a good sunrise. The sand dunes looked great and the light lasted for quite awhile. Death Valley is HUGE and it takes a long time to drive anywhere. So if you ever go, give yourself lots of time. |

Just a reminder that there are only two spaces left in
the Canadian Rockies workshop with me and Don
Mammoser this Sept. 17-22. If you've never been
there, you'll be blown away

A couple other workshops that are filling are the
Triple "D" wildlife model shoot in September and
Vermont in October (with David Middleton). Visit my
workshops page for more info.
Ok, so this isn't a picture from either Triple "D" or Vermont. It's from Death Valley. Just one of the millions of possibilities to be found there. |

Like I said, I'm waiting for my D200 to arrive. I have
everything else I need: the vertical grip, the L-
Bracket, extra batteries. Everything I need to start
making images with this great new camera.
Everything but the camera itself.
So that's all the time I have for this newsletter. After all, I have lots of waiting to do. |
