News Summary
May & June: I've just got back
from Dublin where I ran an Aperture 101 class; great
fun but tiring. Also on the tiring list was completing
another year on the Leek Arts Festival - note to self:
try not to volunteer for so much pro-bono work next
year. You can download a PDF Brochure of the Visual
Arts from the Festival here
(2Mb).
The British Journal
of Photography have asked me to
write a series of four articles on digital colour management.
The first article appears in the 3rd June Edition.
There's lot of planning meetings through June, hopefully
the fruits of that labour will be apparent by Autumn.
In the second week of June I'll be in Latvia running
a T3 Class for Apple in Aperture, loti aizraujoša,
as they might say in Latvian; thankfully the class
is in English.
I am now Certified to teach iLife 09. More
on my training page…
Earlier This
Year: 2009 began with
an Aperture Train-The-Trainer class in Munich, which
was quickly followed by another T3 - as they are known
- in Paris. The two T3's sandwiched Focus-On-Imaging
at the NEC where the groundwork was put in place for
new training ventures. With world-wide economic gloom
setting in the training part of my business continues
to go from strength to strength.
Whlist in Munich I went to a Kandinsky
Retrospective - overwhelming!
In April I took my new studio lighting equipment out
on a few jobs, which helped make some event photography
into something special.
April is also the begining of the WWII reenactment
season so I'm building up more images for my Once More
1944 series of work.
Above three photo-composites in the Platform 1 - Exhibition.
2008 was a great
year. The highlights
were; getting great reviews for my photo-composite
work from key industry professionals; being commissioned
to photograph products and interiors for design companies;
becoming an Apple Certified Trainer for Aperture; running
workshops for Apple and then being asked to be a mentor
trainer for Aperture, so that by December 2008 I was
training-the-trainers for Apple.
