Impressive Canada/Polar Bear Article by Noella Ballenger on Apogee Photo

I just came across a recent article by author and photographer Noella Ballenger on Apogee Photo Magazine. I really like reading essays by photographers that are accompanied by the writer’s images, and I think that Ms. Ballenger’s photos of polar bears, photographed by her in Canada, are very impressive. Noella Ballenger has many other informative and nicely illustrated photo essays on Apogee Photo, and the site has a lot of other content, including photo contests, free articles on how to take better photos, and online workshops.

Apart from the outstanding list of instructors at the conference, one of the great advantages of Photoshop World is that every conference attendee receives a huge printed workbook from all of the sessions.

Article on Black and White Inkjet Printing in Studio Photography Magazine

I just received the February issue of Studio Photography magazine and I’m very pleased to have contributed an article in the issue on tips for getting better black and white inkjet prints. The magazine covers a lot of interesting and important topics for professional photographers, and you can subscribe, or just view the issue (or past issues) on imaginginfo.com. There is an easy-to-navigate interactive version which I like a lot (click on the screen shot below to go directly to the interactive magazine). My article is on page 34-36. The article is partially excerpted from my book, 301 Inkjet Tips and Techniques.
