New Article on Window Photography Posted on FotoTV.com

It’s been a while since my last post here on ImagingBuffet.com–not because I don’t have information to share, but primarily because I’ve been posting a lot of article links on my Facebook page (more than 50 to date), which you can find here. One of the articles you’ll find mentioned there is an article that I recently wrote for FotoTV.com, an online site with hundreds of video tutorials, interviews and product/software reviews. There are many free videos available, and a fee-based subscription is also an option.

Art of Photography Show 2010 Photo Contest: Deadline 6/7/2010

For those who’ve been longtime readers of ImagingBuffet.com, you know that I sometimes highlight photo contests that I believe are good for photographers to consider entering. This is a show that I’ve always wanted to attend in person (it’s held in San Diego, CA), but I haven’t yet because I live pretty far away in the Northeast USA. The show always attracts incredible images from around the world, and the deadline is Monday, 6/7/2010. 

Below is some info from the press materials and website:

The ART OF PHOTOGRAPHY SHOW is an international exhibition of photographic art which will take place August 28 through November 7, 2010 at the Lyceum Theatre Gallery, located in the historic Gaslamp Quarter of downtown San Diego, California. This is the sixth year of this major photography competition and exhibition.

CALL FOR ENTRIES:

The online entry process is very easy, simply filling out a short registration form and then uploading your images as JPEG files. Images created via any form of photography will be accepted for consideration. The Prospectus and entry information is available here. Additional details are in the FAQ page here. The entry deadline is June 7th at 11:59 pm (PDT). 

JURIED COMPETITION:
Natasha Egan is the Judge for the Art of Photography Show 2010. Ms. Egan is Associate Director and Curator at the Museum of Contemporary Photography in Chicago. Ms. Egan is highly esteemed in the global photographic community, so it’s a significant honor to be selected by her.

PDN’s Free Virtual Trade Show Mon/Tues 5/24-25 2010

I thought I’d send a quick e-mail before this free two day event begins. It looks like a great opportunity to learn from many experts in the photo community.

The event is PDN’s Virtual Trade Show, and the focus is on wedding and portrait photography. Many topics, including SEO, self-promotion and branding will be covered.

Live show dates are May 24 and May 25, 2010
Live show hours are 10AM – 7PM EST

If this event is like the last one I wrote about in Dec. 2009, the content should be available via download sometime after the event.

UPDATE: I just learned that the content will be available online beginning on 5/26 for those who register for the event. It will then be accessible for two months.

Here is an overview from the conference agenda, which includes some of the featured speakers:
