There are always some hiccups but I find that when you ask politely, most of the time things are sorted immediately. The Kelby team do a great job at organization managing over 3,000 attendees with people whose full time jobs at Kelby Media have nothing to do with events management. The session is always closed by Moose whose images remind us why he so loved as a landscape artist. First time presenter Bill Fortney showed his beautiful Americana landscape and macro work. Joe Glyda, always has a personal assignment, this time was a dam assignment from the Hoover Dam that was peppered with Joe's moderately bent sense of humour. Julianne typically does her presentation in parts and is one of the few who really make iphonography truly impressive. Di Vitale always kicks off and shows why he is the master of the composite. Dave Black always manages to pull tears and did so again with his moving tribute to Michelle Kwan. One of my favourite events is The Art of Digital Photography where some of the instructors present their personal best in a slideshow format. There is a tradeshow floor with plenty of vendors to talk to as well. PSW also has a welcome reception where you can have a beverage with the instructors the first night, a party (if so inclined) the second night, a Midnight Madness bash the third night and a big wrap up with videos and prizes as the closing event. (He's the one with talent!)Ĭlasses start right after the Keynote and run into the early evening. I'd like to thank Bill Fortney for pointing out again that Moose Petersen suffers because people confuse me for him. This year, I want to thank Glyn Dewis, Jim DiVitale, Joe Glyda, Raphael "RC" Concepcion, Roberto Valenzuela, David Ziser, Dave Cuerdon, Jason Groupp, Dave Black, Moose Petersen, Julianne Kost, and of course, Sergeant Major Joe McNally (rank earned while he was "encouraging" us during his workshop) for delivering superb content in a friendly and powerful manner. Show up awake, and prepare to drown in knowledge transfer. You choose your tracks, your instructors, your classes. My friends Isabel and Stephanie did a Pre-Con on light painting with Dave Black and said it was really good.įor those who've never been, Photoshop World #PSW14 is the firehose of training. The Pre-Con is an add-on package to Photoshop World and if there is one you want to do are well worth the time and money. I did do a helicopter trip to the Grand Canyon, went to the Valley of Fire for sunrise, went to the Neon Sign Graveyard and also did a Pre-Con workshop with the inestimable #JoeMcNally. In truth, I shot nothing on the Strip at all, it's not really my scene. I flew in a bit early because there is a lot of interesting stuff to shoot in the Las Vegas area, especially if you are willing to get off the strip. I just returned this morning on the red-eye from Las Vegas and wanted to get my thoughts down before I fell asleep (again). They have been in my personal experience, unfailingly supportive, friendly and consistently deliver great content. So straight up, I am a huge believer in the work that the people at KelbyOne do when it comes to photographic and related software training.
