Two Upcoming Lightroom 5 and Printing Workshops in Long Island, New York, and special offers that end on Mon. 9/9
Hello and happy almost end of Summer! The very cold weather is not something I’m looking forward to, but that’s for another blog post and season! It’s been a while since I’ve announced my workshops here on ImagingBuffet.com (I often announce them on my Facebook Page at facebook.com/andrewdarlow and on Twitter at twitter.com/andrewdarlow if you’d like to connect).
Even though I mentioned it on Facebook and Twitter, I wanted to make sure that I tell everyone here about the “early bird” offers that will expire at midnight tonight for two of my upcoming workshops in Long Island, New York on Sat/Sun November 9 and 10, 2013. I’ve been doing similar workshops on Lightroom and Printing for many years, and I look forward to sharing many of the new tools and features that can be found in Adobe’s Lightroom 5, as well as many of my “tried and true” printing and “screen to print” color matching secrets. If you are unsure at this time whether you are free on either of those dates, there’s no risk because  a 100% refund is given for cancellations made by 10/10/2013 (50% by 11/3 or 11/4 depending on which workshop you reserve).
In this photo, I’m demonstrating a few things things during a full-day workshop in New Jersey: the look and feel of a specific inkjet-printable canvas material mounted on an easy-to-assemble stretcher bar kit; and the importance of lighting in a gallery, home, etc.
In this image, I’m demonstrating the differences between two different inkjet papers during a full-day workshop in New Jersey. I’m also demonstrating the value of using a standard calibration image for print testing.

A Kickstarter Project About Legendary Photographers…and Much More
A few weeks ago, I learned about a very moving Kickstarter documentary project, and shared it on my Photo and Printing Tips Facebook page. In fact, I was so impressed by the project that I became a “backer.” One one level, the project is about some of the world’s most well-known photographers. But it’s much more than that. Instead of trying to explain it here, I highly recommend taking a look at the video trailer and description on the project’s Kickstarter page. They reached their $25,000 goal, but I recently learned that the project will end up costing over $100,000 by the time it is finished, so they created a “Stretch Goal” to help defray the costs (the project ends on July 3, 2013 at 11:25am EDT (NYC time)):

End of Year Party and Silent Auction at SVA in New York City on 7/10/2013
I recently received an invitation to and was encouraged to spread the word about the End of Year Party and Silent Auction being held on Wednesday, July 10, 2013 at the School of Visual Arts in New York City to celebrate the completion of the MPS Digital Photography department’s 2013 Summer Session. The silent auction will help raise money for Thesis Project Scholarships for the Class of 2014.
The School of Visual Arts holds a special place in my heart because when I was just starting out in my career, I took a number of evening photo classes at SVA and every one of them was taught by a working pro who helped instill in me not only many of the technical aspects of what it takes to be a professional photographer, but also how to work with different types of clients, from magazines to ad agencies. Quite a few years later, I was honored to have the opportunity to conduct a lecture for one of Katrin Eismann’s classes (Katrin is the Chair of the Masters of Professional Studies (MPS) in Digital Photography program at the School of Visual Arts), and I later had the honor of  judging a print competition for students who were enrolled in the MPS in Digital Photography program at that time. Over the years, I’ve also visited some of the program’s Thesis exhibitions, and I’ve always been very impressed by the work on the walls, as well as the printed Thesis catalogs that have been produced for the shows.
I know that the funds raised for the event on July 10 will go toward helping some very creative minds move forward in their careers. The event is open to the public, but an RSVP is requested by the hosts. For more information or to RSVP, visit this page.
Below is the full text of the invitation with specific information about some of the items that will be auctioned:
Please join us for the End of Year Party and Silent Auction to celebrate the completion of the MPS Digital Photography department’s 2013 Summer Session and to raise money towards Thesis Project Scholarships for the Class of 2014. All money raised will be matched by (up to $5000) by friends of the department. Meaning whatever you bid will be doubled for the Scholarship Fund!
Please come and join the graduating students, faculty and staff to celebrate with some adult libations and to bid on a wide variety of beautiful prints, photography books and professional services that have been donated by alumni, faculty, thesis advisors, and our professional industry partners. Some of the items to bid on include:
