Here's a quick handout to go along with my tech presentation today. It's really just the very basics and doesn't go into photoshop too much. There's a lot I could cover, to really learn Photoshop well it's a good idea to go through a book or even take a class. This document covers the basics of:
- Photographing
- Cropping
- Image sizing
- Resolution
- Color and Value Adjustments
- File formats
Also a little bit about the color picker.. I hope to talk about and demo many of tools.

Here's a handout that Jesse Shanks prepared for anyone looking to photograph their art and post it up online. Also, he wanted us to know that he is available to help out. He wrote:

Being in the process of building my art studio - (yeah!!!) after spending years and years painting in the garage, or the dining room, or the kitchen.. got me thinking, where does everyone in BGAA create their art? If you have a studio, or a little corner.. would be fun to see pictures! I love seeing pictures of other's art studios. Mine's currently under construction so maybe I'll put up a picture when it's done (if it's ever "done"). It's an addition that will be over the garage.

I recently worked on a new painting - I was actually working on this at the Harvest days for those who were around then. I was painting outside, and the picture blew over in a little gust of wind (after I painted all afternoon on it). That was fun. So, later that night I worked on it for 2 hours picking out gravel and dust.

Lifeline Connections in Vancouver is having its first fundraising auction. They are asking for art donations. You are able to donate a % of the sale price and are asked to provide a 50 word or less bio ( and picture of the artist).

This article from the NY Times is about a new technology you might be interested in. The second link will take you to the photofly page where you can view a video of how it works and download the software for free.

This is still a work in progress, but I'm excited to give the BGAA this new site that I hope will become a fun and exciting (and useful) tool so we can connect and keep abreast of everything going on out there. My name is Tom Wheeler, and by day I build websites (like this). But I'm also an artist myself, and I'm currently a board member of the BGAA.
