Photoshop & Photography Community

April 7, 2010 in Personal, Photography, Photoshop

First off, I’d like to wish my beautiful wife, Kim, a very Happy Engagement Anniversary! In the wee hours of April 7, 2007 after returning home from Photoshop World in Boston, Kim surprised me at my apartment to welcome me home. We spent the next several hours talking and when I presented her with my grandmother’s wedding ring, she and I decided to spend the rest of our lives together. Now, 3 years later, we have a very happy marriage, a house, an awesome puppy, and our first little one on his way at anytime.

Thank you Kim, for loving me the way you do and for sharing this adventure with me! I am truly blessed! I Love You!

And now, on with the post…

(NOTE: This post was intended to be posted last week, but there was an error between the seat and the keyboard, later found to be an Id10-T problem, when scheduling. My apologies.)

Ever since I refocused my online presence towards Photoshop and digital photography back in 2006 with the Photoshop & Photography Blogroll, one of my main goals was to develop a community of creative people who would participate in projects and contests, offer tips and tutorials, and simply engage one another as we each develop our craft.

Monday News

December 28, 2009 in News

Well here we are, the last Monday of the year. I’m looking forward to the coming year and would like to get some input from you about what you’d like to see more of from the blog.

After the jump you’ll find some ideas of what we did in 2009 (both successfully and not so much) and some things that are already in the works for 2010 to get your mind working. So please, let me know!

Points of View Project Reminder

August 27, 2009 in Inspiration, Photography, Photoshop

This is going to be another abbreviated post day. I’ve been burning the midnight oil – rather, the 2am oil – the past couple of nights and then working full days so I’m pretty whipped.

Let me just take a moment to remind you that tomorrow will be the next installment of the Points of View Photo Project and there’s still time to contribute your version of this week’s source image. Just send it in before about 7pm (Eastern) tonight and I’ll be sure to include it in the gallery with the others.

Also, while I’m at it, I’m still accepting images for Photo Reviews and questions for the Ask Jason column. So please send ‘em in!

Until tomorrow!

“Ask Jason” Reminders and a New Regular Column

August 11, 2009 in Inspiration, News, Photo Review, Photography, Photoshop, Tutorials

First off, I’d like to remind you that I am still accepting your submissions for photo reviews wherein you send me one of your photos (800px on the longest side) and I will look at it and write up my thoughts here on the blog. Just if you’ve read any of my other photo reviews you will know that I try to bring out all of the positive aspects of your shot while also pointing out what I would do differently or what you might consider doing for future images.

I have found that it can be a great learning experience and a chance to get your images out in front of a new audience as well. However, if you are nervous about using your name, just ask and I’ll make sure it is listed as anonymous. So send in your photos today!

Now that one project is over it’s time for another one to begin! Starting today, use the “Contact” button up at the top to send me Photoshop-related questions that you would like to know more about and each week I will answer them here on the blog. Whether it’s a question about technique, composition, shortcuts, or whatever! So start sending me your questions and see them answered right here in the coming days!

Interview Me

June 25, 2009 in Photo Review, Photography, Photoshop, Photoshop Interview, Review

For the next edition of the Photoshop Interviews series I thought I would do something different.

I get asked a lot of questions by readers about me, my process, where I get inspiration, how to do this or that, and countless other things. So, instead of doing it on an individual basis I thought I would open it up to everyone to submit questions so that I could respond to everyone in the form of an interview.

Send in your questions either in the comments below or by emailing me by the end of the day tomorrow (Friday) and I’ll respond in Monday’s post. I will determine which questions are most relevant and moderate any duplicate questions.

I’m also thinking of expanding this idea into a regular series along the lines of an “Ask Jason” column where you can send in your Photoshop/Photography/Design/Whatever questions and I’ll answer them each week or so. Let me know what you think of that idea and if you have any questions that you would like to ask as part of that series.

Also, while I have you here, I just want to remind you that I am still accepting submissions for Photo Reviews. If you have a shot you would like me to look at and provide a critique, please check out my photo reviews post for complete info!

The lines are open! Let the inquisition begin!
