Upcoming Full Day Workshop in New Jersey on 8/9/2008
On Saturday, August 9, 2008 from 10:00am-5:00pm, I’ll be giving a fine-art inkjet printing full day workshop entitled How to Prepare Files and Make Gallery-Quality Prints at Nancy Ori Studio in Berkeley Heights, New Jersey.
UPDATE 7/7/2008: This workshop has filled, but two more full-day workshops have been added (8/16/2008 and 8/18/2008): Please see this page for details.
Each participant in this class will have at least two prints made from their supplied photo or other image on a pigment-based inkjet printer. This has been one of the best ways I’ve found to help others choose the right paper and printer for their work. During the workshop, I’ll be showing many print samples, I will go step-by-step through a recommended printmaking workflow using Adobe Photoshop, Photoshop Lightroom, and other applications, and I will demonstrate how to make and use custom profiles.
A two-page PDF brochure with pricing and information on how to register can be found here.
If you are interested in future workshops, check my teaching and workshop schedule here, and for private consulting via phone or in-person, feel free to contact me using the form on this page, or via cell phone at 732-742-0123.
I hope to meet some Imaging Buffet readers/listeners/viewers there!
New Website for Finding Juried Shows and Calls for Entries
I just received a newsletter from The Guild of Creative Art, located in Monmouth County, NJ. I’ve been a member for about 6 months, and I recently taught a full day workshop there. They recommended a new website called www.artperk.com. The best way to learn more is, of course, to visit the site. It looks very impressive. There are not many listings as of today, but I assume it will grow quickly.
I always caution people to read the entry rules carefully before entering any competition, and I’d also recommend that you ask others their opinion of juried shows on forums like the Digital-FineArt Yahoo! Group (I’m a moderator of that group), or the Artshow-Photo Group. Pay special attention to any clauses that discuss the licensing rights and/or copyrights that you may be giving up to the company or organization that is sponsoring a contest (sometimes whether or not you are a winner).

Amazing News and Photo Site: Boston.com/bigpicture/
I recently received a newsletter from Photojojo.com, one of my favorite photo-related sites. It had an overview of an incredible news site with many large and stunning photos. News photos are rarely displayed large online, so this site really stands out.
