On-Line Photoshop Classes

There are a few spots left for the Photoshop class. Please let me know if you have any questions. I have taught many Photoshop classes. They have all been over a projector in a classroom setting. this works OK but is not ideal. The main reason it is not ideal is that most projectors will not reproduce contrast and colors accurately enough to give meaningful instruction on exact corrections. There are better projectors out there but I have found a better way. I am excited to offer Photoshop Clas… Continue

Inspiration

Last week was the IPPA annual convention. It was great to see some of you there. One of our members, Gary Jensen, cleaned up at the awards banquet and had a merited print at a score of 93. If you have been to one of these competitions, you know that it is hard to get a score of 80 (minimum for a merit print) so 93 is a great accomplishment. And, the picture he… Continue

Halloween is over

Since I have missed a few blog posts this year I have decided to post two in the same week. For some of you, you probably do this many before lunch everyday but for me, it's still something I am trying to fit into my schedule. Last week I posted about a spook alley that my family puts on every year. It was originally set-up to help the kids in the transition from trick or treating to no trick or treating but over the years has just become a tradition. We are always looking for help so, if your… Continue

The fall is coming to an end

It's not too late to get out there and capture some of the fall colors. They are getting a little harder to find and in some areas they are more 'rustic' then vibrant but one look around here and you will see that the shots are still available. Saturday morning I awoke early and headed up to get some pictures up by Mueller Park in Bountiful. The colors there are less vibrant but plentiful. The weather was great and the light was diffused. I shot for about an hour when, during one of my shots, m… Continue

Been really busy the last couple weeks. my classes at Woods Cross have 2 weeks left. After that is over, I have been preparing to do online Photoshop, Lightroom, and Photoshop Elements classes.

I would like to ALWAYS have some type of charity or an organization like that that I can help out with my photography sells for as long as I am selling my photography… Continue
