Aperture 2.1
The Aperture team released the first major update to Aperture 2. What's significant is the new image-editing plug-in architecture including a Apple released spiffy dodge and burn plug-in tool. Check out the dodge and burn video and the Resources Page for more information.

What counts is what you uncover
"It took me a decade to come to the realization, that really what counts is not what you cover, but what counts is what you uncover."
Sounds like a great photography quote, but no, it comes from a zany wonderful MIT physics professor, Walter Lewin.

Let the Show Begin
Once a year, about 300 photographic enthusiasts descend on the northern Nevada town of Winnemucca to spend 3 days steeped in "The Nevada Photography Experience" otherwise known as Shooting the West. Activities include classroom workshops, 2 full days of presenters, photographic exhibits, vendors, portfolio reviews and sprinkles of fine entertainment. And while many presenters hail from Nevada, the event draws Keynote speakers from all over including such recent notables as John Sexton and Charles Cramer. This years highlights for me include Keith Walklet and Annette Bottaro-Walket, Brooks Jensen of LensWork, Hal Cannon and the Red Rock Rondo, the effervescent Richard Menzies as master of ceremonies, and portfolio reviews by Mark Citret.

Two Oaks
This image is a favorite of mine from a trip last October. It was the last image I took driving back through Yosemite and the foothills leading down to Merced. The sun was setting behind a very thin veil of clouds making the light soft and magical.
The image itself represents a Digital Lightjet print created as part of a workshop I took last week with Charles Cramer and Bill Atkinson through Calypso imaging. While I remain fundamentally committed to my wet darkroom work, I recognize developing equivalent digital printing skills is essential to my development. Lots more to come in this space.
