November 2006

Dear Reader,

This month continues to focus on digital printing. The recent announcement of printers by HP and Canon have brought an invigorating competition to the market. Digital printing has never been better and the next generation of printers is poised to elevate photographic printing to a level never before achieved. Classic inkjet printing challenges are addressed in two PDFs - Ink Limit (updated) and Overinking (new). These techniques and much more are highlighted in both my Epson Print Academy sessions and my workshops The Fine Digital Print and Black and White Mastery.

Read a conversation with fellow master printer and digital pioneer Stephen Johnson. It's found in my Library and is published in conjunction with a portfolio of his work now featured in Camera Arts magazine. His new book Stephen Johnson On Digital Photography is a stimulating read I recommend highly in my Review. Get a signed copy in a special bundled edition at a discount directly from Stephen.

Finally, for a limited time only, you have a unique opportunity to own one of my limited edition prints.

Best wishes,

John Paul

Put yourself in someone else’s shoes and gain a new perspective. The idea of emulating a mentor has been used throughout the ages as a way of stimulating personal growth. Some people are lucky enough to be able to work person to person with a mentor. Others adopt the behaviors of a role model from afar. Fewer create an ideal person to model their behavior on. You may be able to do any or all of the above. A person doesn’t have to be exemplary in all areas to be a useful role model; they can simply be good at the one thing you’d like to improve your performance in. I believe we can all learn many things from each other.
