P&P Weekly: #35
It's been an exciting week here at Soup Questions and the P&P Blogroll. After a couple of high-profile links to a pair of my profiles (one of Photoshop Guy Matt Kloskowski and the other of Strobist David Hobby) this bog has seen a huge increase in readership. For three days in a row I had more than 200 unique visitors, topping out at 698 last Thursday, bringing more visitors last week than I had in all of April and pushing 3,000 for May.
This is going to be a busy week at work, keeping me fairly out of touch. I have a couple of additional profiles prepared already - one of Photoshop expert Justin Seeley and another of talented young photographer Joey Lawrence. So be on the lookout for those.
In the meantime, ere’s what’s been happening this week in The Photoshop & Photography Blogroll: (compiled on Sunday afternoon)
- Amy of 2007 Picture a day (or week) - "California Poppy"
- Paul of A Clean Well-Lighted Place - "Cloud"
- Kathleen of A Walk Through Durham Township, Pennsylvania - "White Farm"
- Dave at Dave Beckerman Photography: New York has a couple of nice infrared shots (1,2).
- Dave at Dave Cross Online wrote about a recent session he taught at the Digital Technology Centre in Sarasota, FL. Also, you know Lightroom is $299, but for the same price you can get a NAPP membership ($99) and then use the NAPP discount to get Lightroom ($199). So, for the same price you can get Lightroom and all the training you need through NAPP. (If you do become a member, be sure to say you were referred by me!)
