It was great to be in Boston again. I have always loved Boston. A number of years ago, I sent a few days here at my best friend’s graduation from Harvard. It is such a beautiful city. One of the things I find most alluring about the city is the crew and sailing culture. Out west, we like to boat, but it is a different kind of boating. We drag skiers behind power boats. Here it is a much more refined activity. It’s like the difference between playing Hungry Hippos and Chess. Both are fun, but one is just a lot more elegant.
Anyway, it was a pleasure to visit. I am so grateful to Calumet Photographic for allowing us to hold the workshop there. It is a fantastic store with a great sales staff. Thanks so much Calumet.
This visit, I had a few minutes to walk along the river and found a big sailing school. It looked like a lot of fun, but alas, I had to leave for New York City for my next PUG Lecture and Lightroom Workflow Workshop. Someday, I think I would like to learn how to sail.
I was interviewed recently on the Pat McMohan Show on AZ TV Channel 13. It was a fun interview. Pat is a humorous man. We talked about simple ways to make your photos better. Many times it is the simplest things that make a photograph great, and it is usually not the quality of the camera…
I will be interviewed today (Wednesday the 2nd of Dec) on the Pat McMahon show. We’ll be talking about becoming a better photographer. The interview is live at 9 AM today on AZ TV 13 MST.
Miami, FL was the last stop on the list. I am finished with the Lightroom Workflow Workshop Tour for the year, if you wanted to attend, but couldn’t, don’t worry, I will be scheduling more of them in the spring. First on the list is Los Angeles. So keep checking back to get signed up for that workshop.

Just a quick shot from last week in San Francisco. I was doing a workshop there at the liveBooks offices and was staying near by. I went out to explore the streets after dinner and found an interesting store, in front of which people were passing. I set up my G10 camera on a newspaper box and started photographing waiting for the right person to walk by. This is an example of contextual honesty. No matter who passed in front of the camera, this homeless man was the perfect representative of the people who populate the streets around my hotel. After all, I am a documentary photographer. I attempt to tell the truth.
The streets of San Francisco late at night, when I should be sleeping.
Well, I’m back on another plane and on my way to teach another Lightroom Workflow Workshop. This time, I’ll be in Seattle and Vancouver. Should be fun.
I am pleased that so many people are taking advantage of the opportunity to come to my Lightroom Workflow Workshop in San Francisco. The workshop is SOLD OUT. Should be a great crowd and everyone will walk away with a new way of looking at their images and their post production workflow. If you are thinking about taking the workshop in a city near you, you need to sign up now, don’t be left out.
The San Francisco workshop is being hosted by liveBooks, my web portfolio creator. They are hands down, the best in the business. If you haven’t been to their web site, you need to go. Not only do they make great web sites, they also have great learning resources for professional photographers including informative blog posts, webinars, video interviews and articles. Don’t miss out. Go to liveBooks and check it out.
Great news! I will be lecturing at the Pictage Partner Conference in New Orleans this November. The topic of my lecture is one of my favorite to give: The Photographer’s Eye. I have given this lecture two times this year, one in Hong Kong and the other in Phoenix. It is also the basis for an entire semester course I teach to college students. It is an entertaining and inspiring lecture on the unique attributes of the photographer’s art form. If you are coming to partner conference in New Orleans, come join me and get inspired.
