I've been sick for about two weeks which has really slowed my productivity down. I was originally going to do a bunch of stuff related to the Photoshop CS3 public beta, but now I have to spend my time updating my books and seminars. Here's what I've been up to for the last month:
- Presented a sold out Photoshop for Photographers seminar in Arlington, TX
- Was co-host of the Inside Digital Photography radio show (you can listen to it via iTunes for free in the podcasts section)
- Visited Apple's corporate campus
- Stayed in the marina district of San Francisco for a few days (urban stealth parking)
- Spoke at a Software-Cinema Training Camp in San Francisco
- Met up with a bunch of bus owners in Los Angeles
- Visited a bunch of friends including Greg Gorman, Karl Lang, Colin Smith, Andy Katz, Brenda Tharp and many more.
- Visited Adobe's Corporate Headquarters
- Parked the bus overnight next to the Four Seasons hotel in Beverly Hills and got mistaken for a rock star
- Spent just shy of a week at Bosque Del Apache in New Mexico photographing birds (see shot above)

Glad to have you back!
Love this shot!

Hi Ben:
Just wondering if you are going to publish an "Up to Speed" book for CS3 - the one you did for CS2 was really great.

Hi April,
I'm currently working on an Up to Sped for CS3.
