Gotta Love Those Shirt Collars!

A #blastfromthepast  from 1982. Yes… I'm in this photo… can you spot me? I toured with a vocal group full time… we did about 200 concerts per year back then, and in the first two years I had the privilege of visiting 48 states and 15 foreign countries.
  There are a handful of 30+ year members, and we still get out and perform all over the country about 20 times per year…

If you only watch one episode of The Chat with +Karen Hutton, then you've got to watch this one!
   (but why in the world would you watch only one???)
A fabulous interview with +Scott Kelby 

Reshared post from +Karen Hutton

It's on!! The Chat with Karen Hutton: +Scott Kelby is live!!
On my blog: http://bit.ly/1mXS0MR
If you ever wondered what can happen when you follow your passion and your dreams, this is the episode to watch! 

As you probably already know (but for those who might be new here), +Scott Kelby is a founder and the CEO of +kelbymediagroup  (which includes KelbyOne), Editor and Publisher of Photoshop User Magazine; Publisher of “Light it” and “Lightroom” magazines, President of  NAPP,  author of a string of bestselling technology books, co-host of the weekly talk show “The Grid"… and right now, is in Atlanta with his awesome wife and business partner +Kalebra Kelby putting on Photoshop World.

Whew!

But he is also a father, a husband, a musician… and is one of the most passionate teachers I've ever met. He is likewise passionate about making knowledge accessible to the many, not only the few.

You're about to find out why… and discover the moment in Scott's life that started an empire.

This episode is a revelation; so moving, so deep, heartfelt and genuine. Scott opened up in ways that will probably take you by surprise.

Walking on Broken Glass

Posted on by

—————————————-
Glass Beach in Fort Bragg, CA is really quite amazing… instead of sand, the beach is almost entirely made up of the remnants of broken glass bottles dumped here in the early 1900s… polished smooth by decades of pounding waves.  
I think it's also the perfect place to catch a lovely sunset!

My very first visit here was last night… I hope it's not my last!

Imagine that! I thought there were only #greatblueheronbutts nearby, but I managed to spot one of the rare #Seagullbutts north of Fort Bragg… a quick phone edit…

If there was such a thing as #seagullbuttsaturday I might even post it and share it with a few people…

Where Are The SeagullButts?"

——————————————–
Having completely failed at the non-themes  #seagullbuttsaturday  and  #seagullphotography , I had to settle for #SeagullButtsInDisguise   …
…or in this case, the much lesser-known non-theme: #GreatBlueHeronButtSaturday  

My apologies to +Robin Griggs Wood for straying so far from the strict rules of the original non-theme… as I actually ended up with #FlyingGreatBlueHeronButtsSaturday

The Photoshop Show is going live in just a few minutes… click into the Event page and join in chat underneath the video!

Reshared post from +The Photoshop Show

When we asked +Chris Orwig what he wanted to share with all of you he jumped out of his chair and said,

"Super excited about the show. My topic is going to be, "Capturing those magic moments". I am going to show the process of how I seek to capture and then eventually select the moments that mean the most. In order to do this, we'll dig into a few unedited folders of images in Lightroom to give a behind the scenes look at the photos that were captured. Here we'll look at how using Collections in incredibly important for whittling down to the keepers. We'll look at a few different examples:  iPhone photos, commercial shoot and a personal project. Finally, I'll highlight a few steps in Lightroom to make some improvements. "

O.K. maybe he didn't "jump" out of his chair, but he is excited to share his knowledge with you!

Tuesday at 9pm eastern, 6pm Pacific LIVE right here on this event.
you can always come back anytime after and watch the recorded version.

We would love it if you shared the event and checked out the YouTube Channel here: The Photoshop Show 53 – with guest Ron Clifford
