While on the expo floor, I did a short interview with my buddy, Adobe Evangelist and tech guy, Terry White who asked about my thoughts on what they showed in the Keynote. The title of the video which is also my honest reaction is: “Absolutely Blown Away” and it is currently the featured video on the Adobe Creative Suite Buzz Hub. Go and check it out!
Yesterday, Firgs and I went around the expo floor hunting down some interviews and recording some video. We got some great ones and we will be sharing them as soon as I can get it edited and uploaded, which I probably will have time for this afternoon and tomorrow before I leave for home on Sunday, you see, the conference is on its final day today.
Zack Arias' Class
The two instructors whose classes I have been to, that really impressed me was Zack Arias and Corey Barker. A quick background, Zack is a photographer with a very good way of teaching. He knows his stuff very well and manages to balance that one hour class beautifully.
Corey, in case you didn’t know, is one of NAPP‘s in-house instructors who is a master on design effects and also 3D in Photoshop. His classes are for me a great inspiration to find new methods of working with the techniques I already know to find new approaches and styles.
Of course last night was Midnight Madness featuring jokes and craziness. I have got a few videos from there, including one with R.C Concepcion playing the guitar with one of the Photoshop World attendees. That was a killer R.C! Again, the videos will be coming as I have time to edit them together.
Alright, I better get back to video editing and some other work. I’ll be giving another update after today when the conference is over.
Stephanie Cross rocking away at the After Hours Party
Today has, equally to yesterday been a great day. It started waaay early this morning with the keynote which I helped liveblog together with my buddy Firgs and NAPP’s own Nancy! If you want to see what was said during the keynote, it is on the front page of the Photoshop World site.
Big Electric Cat
Anyway, this evening was the traditional after hours party, this time on BB Kings here in Orlando. As usual, Big Electric Cat was playing and it was a blast. Now I should probably be getting some sleep before having a productive day tomorrow! By the way, with the incredible amount of photographers shooting the guys when playing, there should be some awesome shots coming soon!
More Dancing!
The Rosen Centre Hotel
I am not doing any of the pre-cons today on Photoshop World but just hanging out, relaxing and having a good time and getting to some outstanding work.
Photoshop World Registration Desk
This morning I did go by the registration desks to pick up the workbook and other things and to perhaps meet a couple of people. On the way there, I met Nils (if you ever see this, hi Nils) who was on his way to one of the pre-cons. The walk goes much faster if you are chatting along the way.
Convention Centre Walkway
In a couple of hours, I will be meeting up with Firgs, A.J and maybe someone else as they arrive, and then it is the tweet-up and forum party this evening!
Rosen Centre Lobby
As I am writing this, I am sitting in my hotel room at the Rosen Center in Orlando, Florida. After a long day of traveling, it feels great to finally be here!
The trip went very well, flight in time from Gothenburg and the change in Frankfurt went as smooth as it could I’d say. The flight over felt long (10:35h) but hey, the time did move! We even landed just before the set time and I managed to get through the rigorous entry process in a fast and painless way!
Now I am off to sleep. I am slightly jetlagged. Time here is now 10:35p.m, while my body clock is somewhere closer to four, early morning.
I’ll see some of you tomorrow and continue to post updates and photos!
