Last week was the annual Macworld convention here in San Francisco. It went extremely well. ASMP was present at the Digital Photo Experience booth, where we had many of our professional photographers answering all kinds of questions to the Macworld attendees. There were many wonderful advancements in the computer world on display at the various booths and it was a pleasure to be able to be part of the show.
I was able to catch the Steve Jobs keynote (after waiting for two hours in the fog) and put my hands on the new Macbook Air. I see the new laptop as a nice solution for the photographer on the go. An appropriate compromise between the iPhone and the Macbook Pro.

Hello everyone, I have been very busy since my last posting and wanted to take a break to share with you what I have been up to recently. In 2006, I had the pleasure of staging a keynote presentation to a group of IBM executives from New York and a few months later for the Cascadia Center for Urban Development. It was a wonderful opportunity to present a photographic history of the city of San Francisco as seen through my lens. San Francisco is a city with which I have a deep connection. Following is a link to an article about the presentation:

More recently, I have been involved in local events in connection with the Barbary Coast Neighborhood Association. One of the most interesting projects was the "Bridging Communities" event which created a human chain across the Golden Gate Bridge to support the Bay Area United Way.
