We're in New York City this week for the 2011 PhotoPlus Expo, and this year is sure to be very exciting. Besides the premier of the fabulous new Canon 1D X full-frame Pro camera, the big news is that PDN and WPPI have teamed up to offer an East Coast version of the always popular WPPI convention. Should be a great show!
On Friday, October 28th, I'll be presenting, "The Moving Portrait: Up to the Minute Information on HD Filmmaking Tools & Techniques" at the Javits Center. The show runs from 8:45am to 11:45am. Catch me if you can...

And, since you're in the neighborhood, be sure to stop by the always popular Canon booth. I'll be demonstrating various cool Speedlite techniques each day from the 27th through the 28th. My schedule will be prominently posted in the speedlite area of the Canon Booth.

iDC will also have an exhibitor's booth in the Main PPE Hall. Come by and check out our lovely gadgets in Booth #337. The lovely and talented Maura will be there too...

Here’s something fun - Western Digital is once again hosting me and 8 lucky winners for a photo session on Wednesday, October 26th. We also held this event last year and it was a blast. We’ll have a model and a couple of hours of prime shooting opportunities on the streets of Manhattan. I’ll be along as guide and mentor with the intention of helping all attendees get loads of great shots.

Although this CLL Speedlite Workshop was held much earlier in the summer, the timing of this video’s release is perfect. Thanks to my friends at Canon USA, this week will find me “on assignment” to create a ten-part series of instructional videos on this very same subject; Environmental Portraiture with Canon Speedlites.

Back in 2008 I guided a group of photographers on a lovely trip to Botswana’s beautiful Okavango Delta. Attendees spent two wonderful weeks wallowing in fantastic game viewing opportunities while luxuriating in some of the finest wilderness camps in all of Africa. What a treat this safari was, with fresh and exciting adventures awaiting us each and every morning.

Due to more pressing production demands, the footage holding these cherished memories went unviewed, unloved, and uncut until now. It’s such a shame that there is so little time for personal work these days but so it goes - belated though it may be, I hope you enjoy this short clip entitled, “A Safari’s Memoir”...
