Workshops, seminars, exhibitions, published articles, PDFs to download. There's a heavy emphasis on black-and-white in this issue. It's a hot topic this year, largely due to the significant advances in digital printing - easily achieved neutrality and graybalance, reduced metamerism, increased longevity, and dmax that exceeds silver gelatin. Did I mention my induction into NAPP's Photoshop Hall of Fame? I'm broadcasting from the biggest and best Photoshop World convention yet.
Best wishes, John Paul _________________________________________________________

Looking for a new perspective? "Think outside the box." The box causes you to repeatedly search the same ground and find the same results. The box is usually created by unacknowledged rules of conduct. To think outside the box, you first need to define the box. Solution? List all of your assumptions. While some are created personally, many are inherited culturally. (We all live in many cultures simultaneously - geographic, professional, familial, etc.) Often it's what seems most obvious that limits you the most. Once these invisible guidelines become visible, you'll find yourself empowered with new choices. The act of making things visible is a catalyst for change.
