PhotoPlus Expo (October 23rd through the 25th, in New York City) is right around the corner, and the early-bird discounts are available only until 10/3. Below are the seven programs that I highly recommend. It's a full three days of all that is the business of photography. Go get DVD's for how to light, and take Seth Resnick's D-65 Workflow Not Workslow seperate seminar to really get a handle on your workflow, or come to DC and take Peter Krogh's workshop on workflow and best practices for digital asset management (I presume he'll have dates in a city near you he can e-mail you about.) If you want to really learn Photoshop, you could also head to Photoshop World, or even ImagingUSA. I am not speaking on the PhotoPlus programming track, but we will be on hand doing video reports, as we did last year. (2007 Day 1 Highlights; and 2007 Day 2 Highlights).Here is my recommended attendance list (after the jump). Register now for the seven seminars, and it should be $305 for the three 3-hour programs, and $70 each for the four 2-hour programs, or a total of $585 for three days worth of genius, that's if you register individually. Choosing the "Full Seminar Package", and you'll have a total of $495. This is an awesome deal.
Register Here.
