Peter Liu Photography - photoshop world

Photowalk 9/15

After returning from Photoshop World in Vegas, I checked out Ben Wilmore’s blog and found out he’s on Maui teaching workshops. I’d enjoyed his pre-conference class on “Shooting For Photoshop” and it inspired me to start thinking differently about my photography, so I signed up for his shooting safari.

We met at the Institute of Visual Arts in Kula, shared some images on the screen, got some instruction from Ben, then drove out to Lahaina to shoot. I also met Randy Hufford, one of the premiere experts on digital reproduction, who was also an instructor at Photoshop World.

I’ve been due for a walkabout for a while now. A great time was had by all. I learned a few things along the way too. Always a good thing.

Aloha…

A Room With A View

I don’t come to Vegas often. In fact, I think I’ve been here maybe three times in my whole life, and one of those was an hour-long layover on the way to somewhere else.

I was here for Photoshop World in 2005, and I’m here for the same reason again. I’ve been keeping up, but with all the Macromedia stuff that gets continuously infused into the Suite, I thought it might be time to make another appearance.

I’m not a gambler, so the place doesn’t really hold any charm for me from that standpoint, but it’s good to get off the rock once in a while, and there aren’t many cities in the world where you can see parts of other cities right outside your hotel room window.

Aloha…
