John Paul Caponigro and Mac Holbert to Host Encore Workshop

John Paul Caponigro and Mac Holbert will conduct the Fine Art of Digital Printing workshop for a second time at Brooks Institute of Photography Oct. 29-Nov. 2 in Santa Barbara, California. Their first joint session was held in June and sold out just a few days after it was announced. I’ve known John Paul Caponigro and Mac Holbert for years and greatly respect the work they’ve done to advance the art of digital printmaking and educate thousands of people through seminars like the Epson Print Academy, the Epson Online Print Experience, their books, exhibitions, and other workshops and events.

John Paul Caponigro had this to say about the upcoming four day session: “This workshop format is so unique in that it gives Mac and me the chance to work one-on-one with attendees throughout the week – something that isn’t usually seen with traditional workshops.” Mac Holbert, co-founder of Nash Editions (widely recognized as the first digital printmaking studio in the world) added: “We were thrilled by the enthusiastic response from participants about the first workshop and we look forward to another opportunity to share our knowledge and experience of digital fine art printmaking with others who are passionate about photography.”

Two photo competition deadlines (one 9/14/2007 the other 9/21/2007)

I’d like to let people know about two photo competitions being run by three organizations I highly respect, and of which I’m a member or subscriber. The first is the CameraArts Showcase Edition contest. In association with The Center for Fine Art Photography (Ft. Collins, CO) CameraArts magazine is filling the pages of its November/December 2007 issue with the work of the winners of four categories, and the Grand Prize is the cover. The deadline for entries is Friday 9/14 (today) and for more info, visit The Center for Fine Art Photography.

I am a member of The Center For Fine Art Photography’s Ambassador’s Circle, which is a group of volunteers who help to share information about events and calls for entry. More information about the Ambassadors’ program can be found on The Center’s Website. I also subscribe to CameraArts magazine and I highly recommend it for anyone who likes to see beautifully printed photography and well-written essays and technical articles about photography.

The second competition is organized by the APA (Advertising Photographers of America), and is entitled: “Silver to Pixels.” APA is celebrating 25 Years with this competition, which offers photographers a great way to showcase their work and win national recognition from leaders in the photographic and advertising industry. APA welcomes submissions via online entry at https://www.apanational.com/ and has extended the deadline for entries to September 21 at Midnight EST. I’ve been a member of APA/NY for over 5 years and I’ve met and learned from many other photographers at APA events over the years, and through APAnet and APAdigital, two online forums open to both members and non-members.

Free lecture by Derrick Story at the Stanford/Palo Alto Macintosh Users Group

I just learned from ImagingInsider.com that photographer and author Derrick Story will be giving a free lecture at the Stanford/Palo Alto Macintosh Users Group (SMUG) on Monday evening, Aug. 6. He will cover iPhoto 6, as well as techniques for making great pictures.

Derrick has shared a tremendous amount of information over the years through his books, podcasts and various blogs on many topics including: digital photography; Apple Aperture; Adobe Photoshop Lightroom; Adobe Photoshop; Apple iPhoto; and iPod and iTunes.

In this post from about a year ago, I recommended a specific travel photo-related podcast by Derrick, on his very informative blog and podcast, The Digital Story. I found the show to be packed full of good advice for anyone who plans to travel with a camera.

Derrick is also co-host of one of my favorite podcasts, The iLifeZone.
