Special Event this Sunday 4/5 at Alfa Art Gallery

Though normally closed on Sundays, I recently asked the folks at Alfa Art Gallery, the gallery where I currently have a show on exhibit, to open their doors this Sunday from noon to 4pm. At 3:00pm I will give a short presentation about the work on display, which is a collection of New York City landmarks. The printing processes I chose for this show include canvas, fiber semi-gloss, and watercolor papers. All of the canvas pieces were printed on an HP Designjet Z3100, and all the prints on paper were made with an Epson Stylus Pro 3800

Here is a quick overview of the time and location:

WHAT: Photo Exhibition: GRANDmarks – NYC
WHEN: Sunday, April 5 – noon-4pm (lecture/slide presentation at 3:00pm)
WHERE: Alfa Art Gallery, 108 Church Street – New Brunswick, NJ 08901
(located just a few blocks from the New Brunswick train station)

Video Coverage from PMA 2009 by Imaging-Resource.com

I just had a chance to take a look at many of the videos created by the folks at Imaging-Resource.com during the PMA trade show in Las Vegas. I think that they are very well done and offer a quick look at products as if you were there walking through the aisles. It takes a lot of effort to produce videos like these (including the B-roll that shows close-ups), and I look forward to testing some of the products featured.

Below is a partial list of the products that were introduced and/or featured:

Leica’s New System Flash and Wide-Angle Lens
Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1
Kodak EasyShare Z915
Video: Olympus E-620 DSLR
Casio EX-FC100 & EX-FS10
Sony Cyber-shot HX1
Datacolor Spyder Cube
Lowepro Pro Roller X
Delkin Devices Fat Gecko
