Project for 2016 from Bill Guy the photoshop guru…

he posted:
“Right now I am working on a project for Photo Success called The Semester of Photoshop you never got in College. This will be video and workbook of what you should be learning in a Photoshop class but from what I see are not. I had to take a one break due to the holidays and laryngitis but in the next couple of days should be able to keep recording. These are 8 to 12 videos of a lesson or procedure which will cover not only Photoshop but Bridge and effective workflow.”

Family panorama….from Marian.

He posts: “I hope everyone had a good Christmas Holiday!

Over the holiday, I had an Ugly Sweater Party at my house.   There were people scattered everywhere and I wanted to get a group shot of everyone, which was kind of hard. Since there was a football game on, (Boston Patriots) there were 3 television sets running throughout the house. (They lost, by the way.)

I remembered a photo video that I saw a few years back and thought to myself, what the heck, give it a try! If you go to this site, one of his main specialties, is large family portraiture…..”
