Applying the KISS Method...

I was talking with one of my friends yesterday about photography and design (surprise surprise)
and he asked me "have you ever heard of the KISS method ?"

KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID

Because we all know what it's like to be WAY too emotionally attached to our work, and we end up over analyzing everything... So the KISS method just works. Remember, the next time you start on what seem to be an overwhelming project.. Keep It Simple Stupid

I'm Back....

WOW !!

Just as expected, Photoshop World ROCKED !! It looks as though all I did was take pictures of my sister and myself, but I did attend several awesome classes. For an overview of the week my friend Jenn Bontempi updated a daily blog for everyone that wasn't able to attend. You should definitely check it out right here. Also go ahead and start clearing your calendar for Photoshop World Vegas. Seriously if you want to take your photoshop/design skills to the next level... this is the place to be !!

I'm off to Photoshop World....

Yep !!

I'm off to Photoshop World in Orlando, Fl. This will be my 4th one in a row. Like I said in the "about me" section of my blog, I'm a total dork when it comes to this stuff. If you're unfamiliar with Photoshop World, to sum it up... it's where the world's best photography/photoshop instructors gather in one place and bring you the latest in photography and design. I have to say, it's my FAVORITE conference that I attend all year... I'm gonna try (yes, I said try) to keep you updated while I'm there... if not, I'll fill you in when I get back... Maybe I'll see you there : )
