Greetings
I'm just back from a workshop to the Oregon Coast
and am hip deep in
planning for next year. I'm also middle-of-my-shoe
deep in a muddy area in our yard but that's another
issue.

Oregon Coast-Newport |
|
|
|
|
I just returned from my very first workshop for Photographers
Alliance Workshops. David Middleton and I had a
great trip to Newport on the Oregon Coast. We had a
fantastic group and some wonderful photo
opportunities, including some great foggy scenes at
Heceta Head lighthouse and more fun than should be
legal at the net piles.
Be sure to check out PAW's
2010 schedule, most of which is now posted to
the website. Most of the leaders are working on
finalizing their trips and I know I have one or two I still
need to write up, but you can still check out some of
the great offerings for next year, including trips to
some exotic places like Pacific Rim National Park on
Vancouver Island, British Columbia, The Dalmatian
Coast, Bhutan, Patagonia, and Germany.

My 2010 workshop schedule |
|
|
|
|
I've posted my 2010 workshop schedule on my website. I'll be doing three
workshops with my friend Don Mammoser. We'll be
going the Slot Canyons and Monument
Valley in April,
followed by Arches National Park. In the fall we'll be in
Colorado's San Juan Mountains for
their spectacular
color.
I also am leading several workshops for
Photographers Alliance Workshops, including Palouse, Mt. Rainier, Olympic, and (tentatively)
Yosemite. Plus I'll be traveling to the Oregon Coast
again, this time to Bandon with Great American
Photography Workshops.
And who knows, a few more workshops, tours, or
seminars may be added.

Eco-Font |
|
|
|
|
Thought I'd pass along something that was passed
on to me. EcoFont is a free downloadable font that will
save you ink and money. The font is designed with
teeny, tiny holes, which ends up using about 20% less
ink.

Happy Birthday Bailey |
|
|
|
|
Yep, Bailey the labradoodle turned four years old on
the 15th. Actually, her mom was a
labradoodle and we're unsure of the lineage of her
father. Bailey looks like she might have
some cocker spaniel or cockadoo in her, which could
make her something like a labracockadoodledoo.
But I digress. And
even though she's four years old, and I can't really
imagine a time without her, she's still my little girl;
she'll always be my little girl. Again, I digress.
Bailey's still cute and adorable, but she was super
extra cute when we first got her so I thought I'd recycle
an old picture of her. This was taken right after we got
her. Isn't she cute!!

A steal on compact flash memory |
|
|
|
|
This looks like a pretty good deal. Buy.com has a Kingston 8 GByte Compact Flash
card for $21. I may have to get one or two myself. I
have no idea how long this may last so, as they
say....hmm, I don't know what they say but I'm
guessing these might not last long.
|
 |
Finally |
|
|
|
|
Well, that's about all I have for now. I may be adding
more workshop soon so keep an eye on my
workshops page. I'll also note any
additions in the
next newsletter. Until then, enjoy the end of summer
and the coming autumn.
