Well I''m back home from Vegas. On the drive home Sunday, I stopped for a couple hours at Calico Ghost Town. Tonight I had a soccer match. Also went and dropped off six rolls of 35mm film from Vegas. That Oktomat camera got a workout. Needless to say, lots of pics to come.

On Saturday morning I finally got a pic of Scott Kelby. One of these years I need to get a pic of Scott and Scott.

So, now a lot of notes and new ideas to explore.

Photoshop World ends today. I finally got some time to post images. I am also posting photos to my flickr account.

Wednesday was the dirve to Las Vegas for Photoshop World. The convention starts tomorrow, so tonight I headed down to check out the Fremont Street Experience. Some 250 frames later I called it quit. Most of my images are of the lights, but I stopped, listened and purchased a cd from Carl "Safe Sax" Ferris who was performing. I also met Eddie, who wouldn't give me his last name - dressed to the hilt to enjoy Vegas. I did meet a couple of Photoshop World attendees, but more on the conference tomorrow. Here are my pics of Carl Ferris and Eddie. I will post the neon lights images on another day.

Photoshop World Boston occurred last week. While reports confirm it was a success, there hasn't been much press on the event. Attendance was about 3,000. Here is one photo gallery.

The biggest news article looks like Macworld's article "What Photoshop World can teach other trade shows." Of course, they were using Photoshop World as an example of how future Macworld Expos would be a success now that Apple has pulled out.

Wrong. The National Association of Photoshop Professionals is a strong and large organization, but if Adobe pulled out, Photoshop World would be a much smaller event.

With Apple gone, future Macworld Expos are going to be much smaller events. Period.

NAPP's one opps leading up to Photoshop World, was getting their event logo posted on Photoshop Disasters web site. The XVII logo did not extend to edge of image. Also the thumb seems to be melting. Great way to get publicity for Photoshop World. The comments are great.

Well the next Photoshop World in Oct. 1-3 in Las Vegas. See you there. Only 180 days. Photoshop World web site.
