News: “Mastering Digital Color” book by David Saffir & Related Resources
Mastering Digital Color is a new 272-page softcover book written by California-based photographer and printmaker David Saffir. In the book, Saffir looks at color management from the perspective of serious amateur and professional photographers. “I’ve focused on helping readers make choices for themselves that improve quality and productivity, and reduce costs,” says Saffir.
I’ve known David Saffir for years. He truly understands digital color and digital output, and he’s also a very talented photographer. I highly recommend taking a look at his website. On it, he has a free sample chapter from the book available for download. It contains a lot of excellent info about color spaces, scanning, shooting in RAW, and step-by-step digital workflow advice. David will also be teaching a series of full-day workshops starting in February, 2007.
Photo Exhibition by Dan Burkholder on Display Until 12/31/2006
I just came across this captivating series of images. Photographer, author and educator Dan Burkholder has a photography show of his images entitled Shadows of Lives and Loss: Decaying Memories Along the Gulf Coast, photographed in the Gulf Coast region of the US after Hurricane Katrina. The show is on display until December 31, 2006 at Tammy Cromer-Campbell Photographs & Gallery in Longview, TX.
Dan Burkholder’s Gallery of images from the show can be found here. A very interesting online slide show with audio is also available online. Burkholder, Tammy Cromer-Campbell and Roy Flukinger, the Curator of Photography at the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center at the University of Texas at Austin speak about the project and I highly recommend listening. You can find the interview here.
On this page, you can select Dan’s series of images or work by other artists to get more information about their prints. I learned about this show from a great website run by Mary Virgina Swanson. I had an opportunity to attend Ms. Swanson’s lecture during the PhotoPlus Expo in November and I was amazed at the amount of great information she shared with the audience. Here’s a link to the seminar description page from the PhotoPlus Expo website. The seminar was entitled: Presenting your work to the fine-art community.
And here is a link to Dan Burkholder’s website. Dan is a longtime friend, and a fantastic teacher, photographer and printmaker.

Hello once again! In this episode of The Imaging Buffet I interview Lauren Wendle, Publisher of Photo District News and PhotoPlus Expo. During the interview, Lauren shares with us some behind-the-scenes information about the three-day PhotoPlus Expo event that’s been running in New York City for the last 21 years. She also gives us a taste of what’s to come at next year’s Expo, including the dates of the 2007 show.
Mentioned in the intro to the show was the Trucker Tom podcast. I was recently interviewed by Tom for his podcast and here’s the link to his website.
Enjoy, and stay tuned for more interviews soon.
All the best,
Andrew D.
