Annenberg Space for Photography: Digital Darkroom

Annenberg Space for Photography

We went and saw the Digital Darkroom exhibit at the Annenberg Space for Photography downtown. I was given good advice to go on the weekend when parking is a lot cheaper and the area is a lot less crowded.

It was an unusually amazing windy day, which definitely colored my experience. The work is good but nothing that surprised or amazed me. Mostly I enjoyed the polish of the exhibit. The space is well organized. The documentary videos interviewing the artists are informative and a good length. I could do without the 3D-glasses stuff but it was easy enough to pass by.

Well done Annenberg Space for Photography

The War of Art by Steven Pressfield

The War of Art

by Seven Pressfield

This book was recommended on a podcast I listen to called "Back to work" with Merlin Mann and Dan Benjamin. It outlines an excellent model for how to think about the work of creating. It is a very practical approach that gives due respect to the more undefinable sources and motivations involved in making art. It's a quick read but dense with great insight. I'm also a fan of the narrator George Guidall.

Excellent Photoshop Tutorials

I get asked questions about Photoshop in my classes quite often. For years now I have been a subscriber to Lynda.com. It is where I go to learn any computer software.

Their Photoshop tutorials are especially good. Well worth giving them a try. Every tutorial has several free sample videos, so you can get a feel for the instruction without having to sign up for anything.
