Greetings
Happy New Year everybody. As the winds of this
atypical northwest winter continue (I'm starting to
get a little shell shocked with all the branches hitting
the house and the power going out seemingly once a
week), I'm spending most of my time remodeling a
bathroom and attempting to get my digital images
cataloged once and for all, both of which seem to be
never ending projects.
One good thing about doing my own remodeling is
that I get to buy new tools. That's nearly as fun as
buying new photo gear!

Change to Oregon Waterfalls workshop |
|
|
|
|
Don Mammoser and I have made a change to the
planned Oregon Waterfalls workshop. Instead of
making it all waterfalls all the time, we’ve decided to
spend a couple of days in the Columbia Gorge
photographing waterfalls, and a couple of days in
Seaside, Oregon photographing the northern Oregon
Coast. This will include the Cannon Beach area, Ecola
State Park, and more.

Slot Canyons/Monument Valley |

Our Slot Canyons/Monument Valley field workshop
this April is nearly sold out. In fact, there is only one
spot remaining. If you’ve been on the fence, it’s time
to jump down.

iView Media Pro |
|
|
|
|
I've just started using iView Media Pro to
catalog my
digital images. So far I really like it. It's got some
great capabilities and it plays well with Photoshop
and Bridge. It's one of the few DAM (Digital Asset
Management) applications that can write metadata
back into to RAW files as well.
You may have heard the iView was acquired by
Microsoft. This spring, the next incarnation of iView
Media Pro, Expression Media, will be released.
Those purchasing iView Multimedia 3 will get an
upgrade to Expression for free. So if you've been
thinking of getting a DAM application and have been
leaning toward iView, now would be a good time. You
can buy it directly from iView (iview-
mutimedia)or get it at a discount from Peter
Krogh's (author of The DAM
Book) website by clicking here.

Book headed to printer |
|
|
|
|
After a couple of rounds of editing and some cutting
of length (and we all know how painful that can be),
my book will be heading to the printer in early
February. I'm not sure exactly when it will be
released but rest assured that I'll let you all know.
|
 |
Until next time |

I guess that's it for now. Bailey is bugging me to go
play with her so I better bow to my higher calling and
go toss a ball. I should probably get back to that
remodeling project as well.
Hope that where ever you are, it's warmer than it is
here! Oh, and before I forget: Go Seahawks!
