Recently we had a blast working our magic on an old-school hollywood style shoot. It was really nice to focus on some black & white images for a change. It’s such a beautiful medium and I often miss working with it. This young lady is was the star of our shoot and did a fantastic job. Enjoy!
On Saturday, July 24, 2010, the whole world will be walking again with Scott Kelby, president of the National Association of Photoshop Professionals (NAPP) and #1 bestselling computer and technology book author, in the Third Annual Worldwide Photo Walk™.
Scott Kelby’s Worldwide Photo Walk is the world’s largest global social photography event in the history of photography itself. It takes place on the same day around the world where photographers of all walks of life and skill levels gather together, usually in downtown areas to socialize, learn new tips from each other, and explore their corner of the world through photography.
“In 2008, we had 241 walks,” said Scott Kelby, founder of NAPP, editor-in-chief of Photoshop User magazine, and president of Kelby Media Group. “Last year, we had over 900 walks with over 32,000 photographers participating. We did the math… your average photographer will take upwards of 300 photos during a photo walk. That means that nearly 10 million pictures were taken in that one single day that may never had happened otherwise. I think that’s pretty cool and we all can’t wait to see what happens this year.”
There is no fee to participate but pre-registration is required. Just go to the Worldwide Photo Walk site, find a walk near you, and join in on the fun. If there is no Photo Walk in your area feel free to register to lead a walk of your own.
Anyone can participate too. All you need is a camera. It doesn’t even matter what kind of camera either. People have showed up with disposables in the past, had a blast, and left with a new appreciation for photography.
Adobe’s CEO Shantanu Narayen was quick to respond to Jobs’ post on the apple site. Here’s a look at Adobe’s perspective on the issues. I think MacWorld does a good job of providing an overview of Narayen’s comments up in this post. Just when you think hope this conflict is going to wind down and people are going to start getting on the same page, there is another flare up. Ding, ding! Round 200 and something I think.
For those of you affected by, or enthralled with, the Adobe vs. Apple flash “discussions”, here’s the latest from Apple’s CEO Steve Jobs. Mr Jobs post reads well and in my opinion brings to light a clearer picture of the state of things. When situations like this arise there is often so much propaganda and hyperbole to wade through that it’s to daunting a task for the uninitiated. Suffice to say that a well written post like this is welcome in such a heated discussion. Be that as it may, it is not without some purposed shots across Adobe’s bow. In the end, I think this quote for the posting sums it up well.
“Perhaps Adobe should focus more on creating great HTML5 tools for the future, and less on criticizing Apple for leaving the past behind.”
Well, here’s a little more on the new print driver that DYMO put out for the DiscPainter on Snow Leopard. I’ve done a little more digging around and found others who had a similar issues. That got me thinking that the driver was the issue. In part, that is true, however, updating the driver for the DiscPainter on Snow Leopard is a two step process. Granted the process could be made much more clear. Be that as it may, after installing the new driver, you must update the firmware. Sadly, because my last attempt to test the new driver ended in a small disaster, which included the destruction of my almost new print cartridge, I am unable to test this solution. I’ll be ording up a new print cartige shortly and I’ll post once I’ve tested this.
In the mean time, if any of you are running the DYMO DiscPainter on Max OS X Snow Leopard and happen to have had the same issues I did; Did you install the firmware update after installing the new driver? If not, would you do so and post back here in the comments section, letting us all know how it goes?
For your conveince, here is a link to the new DYMO print driver and firmware update for the DiscPainter.
