Photoshop World Orlando Recap

Been a busy week, to say the least! So I thought I would give you guys a little look into what went on last week in Orlando. The conference is a mixture of pleasure and pain... the pleasure of learning and seeing all your friends, and the pain of no sleep and not wanting to miss anything.​

​Let the games begin! Dinner the night before the Conference. Seen here... Starting left and going around the table. Dave Clayton, Matt Kloskowski, Corey Barker, Glyn Dewis, Scott Kelby, Erik Kuna, Jeff Revell, and Aaron Barker.

One of the great things about doing something like this is getting to hang out with like-minded folks that you genuinely enjoy being around. I hope that translates to the attendees when they see us truly having fun with each other.​ 

​The day before the official start of the conference is call Pre-con day, and we have multiple extended classes on subjects such as light painting, concert photography and ACE Exam prep course.

​RC is going through the ACE prep course, and he is using this stylish image of our friend Ken Falk to make a point. I don't remember the point because I was busy texting Ken to make fun of him at the time. :D

​I met Jeff down in the Concert photography Pre-Con taught by Alan Hess and Scott Diussa. What a fun class.

After leaving RC's class I met up with Jeff Revell in the Concert Photography class and we went for an afternoon Photowalk in Downtown Orlando. We spent a couple of hours with some great folks swapping stories and pictures.​

​My partner in crime Jeff Revell. Even though he has written numerous book on how to use both Nikon and Canon cameras, his own seems to be giving him issues. (Just kidding... he just had gas.... sorry Jeff, I am a 12 year old trapped in a 42 year ol…

​The Expo floor is a great place to see gear and teaching. I took a picture of this guy teaching... I am not quite sure who he is, but he seemed to know his stuff. :D

​The classes covered all kinds of topics from photography to illustration. Here is the phenomenal Aaron Blaise showing us some of his work. Definitely a don't miss instructor if you have the chance.

​And finally I will finish off with a picture of the after hours party, because that is really what it feels like to be here. Even though it is a long week, it is like a family gathering that you learn stuff from and party with... even your weird cousin Goober doesn't seem so weird with all the great stuff happening. So if you get a chance just us next time and become part of the family.
