Some News: Upcoming Workshops and Recently Published Articles

Hi folks! It’s been a while since my last post, and that’s partly due to the fact that I’ve been using my Facebook page as a way to share links to articles, contests, gallery shows and other items I find interesting. Even if you don’t have a Facebook profile, you can see the most recent highlighted stories and links directly to them on ImagingBuffet.com and one of my other sites, PhotoPetTips.com (look for the blue box in the right column of the site).

I’ve also been writing for some other sites, including Photo.net and Pixiq.com. But I haven’t forgotten about you. Look for some reviews and other articles soon, right here on The Imaging Buffet. And with Valentine’s Day in the recent past, I thought I’d share one of my photos: an adorable Boston Terrier named Cupid, who graced the pages of Studio Photography Magazine (February issue of course) a few years back.

Below are some highlighted articles from the recent past, as well as some upcoming workshops that I’ll be conducting in the tri-state area of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

Recent Articles

I just wrote an article for Photo.net entitled: Factors to Consider when Choosing a Photo-Quality Inkjet Printer. To read the article, visit this page.

A few months back, I had a pet photography article published on Phoozl.com (and if you haven’t played any of the Phoozl photo games, I highly recommend them). To read the article, visit this page.

I recently wrote an article for Pixiq.com entitled: The 13-inch-wide Epson Stylus Photo R3000 Announced: Overview and Comments. To read the article, visit this page.

and to see all my articles on Pixiq.com, including one that describes changes to the Photoshop CS5 Print Dialog Box, visit this page.

I was also quite honored to be one of four photographers and a commercial printer interviewed for a recent (PDN) Photo District News Article by Dan Havlik entitled Living Large: Photographers use the latest large-format inkjet printers and materials to print big for maximum impact. You can find it in the March, 2011 issue of PDN (pages 29-34). For an overview of the March issue, visit this page.

Upcoming Printing Workshops in NJ, NY and PA

I’m happy to announce that I’ll be trekking across the tri-state region in the upcoming months with workshops in New Jersey, New York City and Philadelphia. Below are some quick links to four upcoming workshops (and there are more to come)

1. I’m teaching a full-day color management/fine-art inkjet printing workshop on Saturday March 19, 2011 in Philadelphia, PA at Calumet Photographic. I expect to use an Epson Stylus Pro 3880 (17-inch-wide) and/or a Canon PIXMA Pro 9500 Mark II (13 inch wide) for attendee prints and for explaining a step-by-step Photoshop workflow. For more information, visit this page.

2. I’ll be teaching a very similar workshop with similar printers at Calumet New York City on April 23, 2011. For more information, visit this page.

3. And to round out my tri-state tour for now, I’ll be doing a two-day weekend workshop in Northern New Jersey at Peters Vallery Craft Center May 21-22, 2011. I expect to use an Epson Stylus Pro 3880 for this workshop. For more information, visit this page.

I’m also available for private instruction in your home, studio, via phone, or via remote desktop (with your permission, I can take over your screen and mouse-actually we can both use the mouse). All ImagingBuffet.com readers who mention that they saw the offer here can take 20% off any of my private consulting services if reserved by 3/1/2011. For more information, visit this page.

All the best!

Recent Article on How to Get the Most from a Visit to the PDN PhotoPlus Expo

I just posted a pretty long article on Pixiq.com entitled: 10 Tips for Navigating the PhotoPlus Expo in New York City.

If you are at the show today, or if you are planning to attend this week or in upcoming years, I hope you find it useful. You can find the article here.

50+ Links to Photo-Related Stories, Events and Tutorials Plus an Upcoming Workshop in NJ

I’ve slowly been building a list of links on my Facebook Fan Page over at facebook.com/andrewdarlow. There’s quite a range of topics there that I’ve found interesting or enlightening, from installing a backup generator, to some incredible photos that I came across on Flickr.com.

I like the way that Facebook makes it easy for people to make quick comments and to “Like” specific stories. I will be incorporating some of that functionality into my sites soon because it helps others find content that their friends are reading/watching when they are browsing various Facebook pages and the Web.

Full Day Lightroom Printing Workshops in NJ-8/28 and 8/29, 2010

I’d like to mention an upcoming full day Lightroom printing workshop that I’m giving in Berkeley Heights, NJ on Sat/Sun Aug. 28 and Aug. 29, 2010. Both workshops are the same, and are limited to just 7 attendees each day. I’ll be covering the newest features in Lightroom 3, and attendees will go home with at least one print prepped by me in Lightroom and output on a high-quality paper of their choice. I’ve done about 20 similar workshops at NJ Media Center and I’m really looking forward to this one. For more info and pricing, visit this page, or feel free to send me an e-mail through this page if you have any questions for me.

Readers of The Imaging Buffet who register by August 20 and who mention that they saw the workshop announced here will also receive a 30 minute phone consult with me after the workshop ($100 value). Just send an e-mail through this contact form after you register, and I’ll set up a session with you.
