Presentations, Topaz, etc.

It has been a fun two weeks. We presented at the Mass PPA convention, and then the Dynamic Images Photos conference in PA and then the NY PPA InFocus convention, followed by Charter Oak -- Whew, what a ride! Greater Lyn and NEIPP are coming up this week.

We love presenting -- and teaching and inspiring. Each of the events was great, with lots of friendly eager people! We talked about Night photography, Rust, Urban Exploration, Fine Art photography, Topaz, the value of personal projects, and The Creative use of Blend Modes.
