t.co -- First time around everything is special, and so was our trip to Photoshop World in DC. Even though my shoes were killing me right from the start, a view of thousands aspiring photographers taking Walter E. Washington Convention Center by storm was breathtaking and more than made up for it.

t.co -- This was one of the most fun, most inspirational, most friendly Photoshop World’s I’ve been to. I’m not sure if it was because the location was new which meant more people (and new people) could come, or because of the great weather that the northeast has been having, but Photoshop World DC was a blast. So much so that I felt I had to write a Top 10 Favorites List just to thank a few people and, well, I don’t know. I just felt like I had to write it. So here goes:

twhite.me -- ’s that time of year again. It’s time to head out to one of my favorite shows – Adobe Photoshop World. This year’s east coast event takes us to Washington DC. As usual I have a slew of classes that I’m teaching on a variety of topics. Everything from using the iPad in your Digital Photography Workflow, to InDesign classes for Photographers and Designers, to Importing and Managing your Images in Lightroom 4. Also while I’ve got your attention, the class that I’m doing on creating Interactive Portfolios is based on using InDesign to create Interactive Portfolios for Tablets.

There will be some very cool photos and composites that I will be working from shooting models in the Westcott Booth here at PSW and this is just a taste. This is a model in nothing really buy latex body paint and some foam covering a few key areas. The theme for this booth, which there was four booths, was an alien emerging from an egg. Nothing more here then literally a quick three minute edit of this photo in Photoshop based on some tricks that I learned from Joel Grimes. Once I have sometime to digest things and go back through the notes and workbooks I will surely have some even cooler photos.

bit.ly -- It is sort of a tradition of mine to post out some of my favorite quotes I hear on day two of Photoshop World. You might wonder why I do this for the second day two of a multiple day conference, if not you can skip ahead to the quotes section below.

www.revellphotography.com -- Wow, it’s been a great Photoshop World weekend. Sadly though, it must end some time but just in case you aren’t ready to let go, why not join me for an end-of-the-conference photowalk. Don’t worry if you didn’t get to Photoshop World because attendance is not mandatory for you to join in on the photowalk this afternoon.

ow.ly -- We have all at one time or another been captivated by sports images. It may be Kirk Gibson's World Series Homerun, and the image of him running the bases, overcoming the pain he was in or an image of high flying Michael Jordan slam dunking a basketball with his tongue out. We have all been captured in the moment of human drama. We all like a good action photo and, in particular, if your kids play sports, you want to remember them in their toils.
