Pfew I feel busy as a little bee. The moment that I can get in to setup my photo’s for the exposition is getting closer and closer and there is lots of work to be done. So what have I done so far:

• catogorized my pictures and made out of roughly 2500 images a selection of 16 images that I want to place there. And believe me that was a nightmare ! It took me a lot of time and energy to do that because it is so difficult to make that selection.
• Been to the library to have a look where I am allowed to place my images and it is a nice spot. People will notice them because they have to pass them and they have good light as well which makes me happy
• Found out that I also want to make a e-book so I can share this work with all of you and I can show more pictures in that as well
• Been thinking and working on how I can place these images because a frame would be to heavy, but I found a nice solution
• The publishcity around the exposition has started already
• Been printing my work which took me a whole evening but I am pretty satisfied with the results of it…..

Well That’s the news about the preperations of the exposition and I will keep you guys posted on this one. Next step will be mounting the pictures on the solution I found for hanging them

You really have to get back to basics and redesign or adjust what you always did. Forget what you learned to learn that there is a whole other world as well. This is a story about that.

I thought I really knew my way around in Lightroom and Photoshop, but boy was I wrong…..so wrong…..

This weekend a friend of me introduced me into the workflow procedures of Guy Gowan, wow a whole new universe opened up for. I was so lucky to borrow his DVD set and got stunned by the logic behind the whole idea. It is making the whole way of working in Photoshop and you workflow more predictable then ever.

Guy has a background in the traditional Scanner and Print industry and has been for years Adobe’s man to go. So a CV that sounds good very good. In the old days they corrected everything with layers and masks. This is actually exatcly what Guy is doing as well. It is really great, very subtile and controlable and I looooove it

Guy has a very good website and explains in a very clear way how he does his thing. Best thing I think he is also giving you the why he does it and what the idea behind it is. A lot of things I was running into and wanted to get out of my work…..he brought me the solution. Still have to figure a lot of things out, but I am really going to use his methode of working, it is logical very much timesaving and it brings me the quality I need and was looking for …….

Never ever could have imagined that things can go fast, very fast. I recieved a phonecall yesterday from a very friendly lady to ask me if I would agree to set up a exposition in a local public  library. uuuuuuuuuhhhh……what do you think OF COURSE. I know the place since it is the library in the village my parents live and I used to be a member as well when I lived with my parents.

Really it is my first solo exposition and I think it means a lot of work, checking out the space making a floor plan, select images, print images, desicions on how frame them pfew ….but first things first I have to make a list and pay a visit to that place so I know what and how ……

Well everbody I realize it is a sho post this time but I wanted you guys to know what happend !!! Will keep you posted
