PixelGenius members will be at next week’s PhotoPlus Expo, check out what’s happening and what we’ll be doing.
We all get in early because we’ll be having a PixelGenius meeting (it’s always tough to figure out how to hook up with Martin over in London–although Seth was over there this week for a visit and workshop). Starting on Thursday, October 18th, we’ll be invading the expo and talking up a storm.

After a 6 week interlude, George Jardine has posted not one, but two Lightroom Podcasts in quick succession.
Podcast #40 is an interview with Chris Rainier:
“It [being able to ’see and pre-visualize’ in black and white] allowed me to speak of things that were beyond the color spectrum, beyond a certain reality, and go into what I like to call magical realism.” – Chris Rainier
Podcast #41 is with renowned photographer Steve McCurry:
“Some of the great pictures, you just look at them and you marvel at them, for the subject matter and somehow they struck a chord in you. But it’s rarely about the technique. It’s not about the lens, or the film, or the light necessarily. It’s really just some story in that picture. Some emotional element which you connect with.” – Steve McCurry
