The best images from my latest trip to Maine are on the website in the “Latest Images” gallery. I’m quite pleased with the results, and really enjoyed the winter environment. Shooting in the field is just one part of making a final print. Once I have final selects edited and processed from a trip, the final and most rewarding stage for me is printing. I decide which images I want to include in upcoming shows and exhibitions, and begin the process of creating the final “print master” file.I will cover this process in depth in an upcoming entry, as well as in my March Lightroom workshop.
On Feb 21st, I will be presenting a Lightroom seminar to the Dutchess Regional Professional Photographers, a non-profit organization dedicated to the educational needs of professional photographers in Dutchess County, New York. I’ll be covering all of the basics of managing and processing images with Lightroom, and will answer questions fro the attendees. More information can be found at the DRPP website for those who want to attend.
In the meantime, enjoy the images, and as always, I welcome your comments and questions.

I’m pleased to announce the first workshop of 2008 – “Digital Photography with Adobe Lightroom†and it will be held March 29th at the Beacon Studios, Beacon NY. Aimed at serious amateur to professional photographers, it will cover all of the basics of getting up to speed with Lightroom, with an emphasis on digital workflow including processing and printing. I have been using Lightroom for close to two years now, and in my opinion it is the best all in one solution for digital photography on the market today. It combines a powerful library and management module, arguably the best RAW processor, and by far the best printing environment I have used to date. With the latest version 1.3, the need to export your images to Photoshop for further editing has been greatly reduced, and future upgrades promise more power and flexibility. The complete itinerary as well as registration info can be found here.

The website has finally received an upgrade – not a totally different design, but more of a “re-model†that I had been planning for a while now. My philosophy has always been simplicity, ease of navigation, and making the sure the images look as good as possible. Above all, my website is about sharing my photography, which means visitors to the site are the priority. What’s left is integrating a shopping cart, and perhaps a workshop forum where students can post questions and share their photography as well.I’d love to hear your comments and suggestions!
