Ben Willmore came to town for the “Photoshop for Photographers” seminar last Friday.
Ben's seminar was amazing. He has come up with the best explanation of using curves in Photoshop I have ever seen. Absolutely brilliant! I've already pre-ordered his book: "Adobe Photoshop CS3 Studio Techniques". Honestly if you only buy one book on Photoshop, Ben's Studio Techniques' book is the one to get. No one explains the "hows" and "whys" of Photoshop better than Ben! He was also gracious enough to make time in his schedule to have dinner with my wife and I and the guys from Graphic Authority (also great guys!). Ben is not only brilliant at Photoshop but brilliantly funny and charming as well! Just a great guy! Check out his 2 websites: Where is Ben? and Digital Mastery. You can buy Ben's books (or just read my reviews) at my own little Amazon store here: Dave’s Amazon Store.
Thanks for hanging with us Ben! If I win the lottery over the Summer I'll see you at your Photo Safari in Maui ;-)

Hey My Photo on the cover of Photoshop User! SO COOL!!
I entered this image in the Photoshop World Guru awards last month in Boston.
I didn't win an award, but I did get a call from Felix Nelson, Creative Director for NAPP.
Felix wanted to use this shot on the cover of the magazine!
Thank you so much Felix!! I am so thrilled to have my shot on the cover of my favorite magazine!
