1) "Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 – Maximum Performance" by Mark Galer & Dr. Abhijit Chattaraj

I created this book as a sort of happy ending for myself after having not been chosen as one of the 12 photographers a local Charity selected to illustrate 12 community groups they support, a wonderful win-win circumstance for both the photographers chosen and the Charity illustrating their good works. Most of these images I had used to represent myself when I put together my grant application – though a couple, for obvious reasons, were not included. Hey, perhaps those would have helped me get selected after all (not). |

You have to understand, I was designing the site for 'creative' folks in the film, photo and advertising industries and figured I could get at least a bit more wild with my design. But sometime (perhaps more often than not) It is best to be simple and direct. After all it is a business site! |

Instead of using Lightroom's new 'Watermark' feature (in both the Slideshow and Web modules) for overlaying your images all in the exact same place, all at the same opacity level – which looks pretty ugly in a presentation that includes a variety of images. by using a brush you create in Photoshop you can place each 'watermark' precisely where you would like it on each image and control their opacity as an overlay on each photo. If you check out images I present in my Location Scouting website you will see how this looks better (I think) than employing the 'Watermark' feature Lightroom provides. |

I made this series after attending an event organized and presented by a good friend of mine, Suzanne Johnson. She is the Executive Director of Gnosis. The gallery consists of my favorites shot over the weekend, November 11th and 12th (2011), Participating Architects' Own Homes Tour. |
