Scott Kelby's Fourth Annual Worldwide Photo Walk

Scott Kelby just officially announced that this years worldwide photo walk is open and that I’ll be on October 1-2, with the leader of the walk picking the best day for their walk. It’s a really fun event. I was the leader of a walk here in Gothenburg four years ago for the first walk, but because of travel schedules, I haven’t made a walk since. I am bummed to say that this will be the case this year as well. Anyhow, you should definitely be a part of this! Even if you don’t want to lead a walk in your city, you can join a walk. You don’t need a fancy camera, you can do it with an iPhone if you like. The whole point is to get out and meet new people, hang out, have a lot of fun while getting to shoot in a new environment.

If you like, there is a contest too with amazing prices: The winner will get the full CS5 suite, an Epson R3000 printer, a Photoshop World ticket, a collection of Kelby books, an iPad(!) and a lot more! Even if you are not the grand prize winner, all finalists will get prices including the Nik software suite and the OnOne software suite, a one year NAPP membership and more. Check this out on the photo walk website.

By now you’ll have heard enough right? Go and see if there is a walk in your city. If there is, why not join the walk? If there isn’t, host one! This is lots of fun!

Light It. Shoot It. Retouch It. LIVE!

It’s not often that I get to write that NAPP (National Association of Photoshop Professional) is taking a tour to Europe. In this case, it is my pleasure to remind you that Scott Kelby is taking his awesome Light It. Shoot It. Retouch It. LIVE! tour to Europe in August. He’ll be in Cologne, Germany on August 10 and Amsterdam, Netherlands on August 12. Guess what though, there are still seats left for you to come there! Last time I checked, flights are still available for OK prices as well as hotels in both cities from a variety of cities around Europe.

I will of course join at the Cologne event, going down there August 9-11 and am looking forward to seeing Scott here in Europe. If you are joining us in Cologne, I am very positive that you will get to see Calvin Hollywood and if you visit the Amsterdam event, Frank Doorhof should be around too!

See you in Cologne, or, if you can’t make it there, have fun in Amsterdam!

NAPP - SwedenA few weeks ago I was asked if I wanted to be part of a new project that NAPP (National Association of Photoshop Professionals) is doing by being an admin for a brand new localized Facebook page, NAPP – Sweden. How could I say no. Firstly, it is an honor to be asked and secondly, I love NAPP (if you aren’t a member, you should join!) as it is just such a great community.

The result of this is now live and has been kicking for a couple of weeks now. If you are Swedish (or speak Swedish) you can now be a part of the fully localized group with news, tips, tricks and contests in Photoshop all in Swedish. It doesn’t matter if you are a NAPP member or not. If you aren’t, join the page to find out the benefits and be part of contests and maybe you’ll win a membership and get to try out a year!

If you’re not in Sweden, check out some of my buddies who are the admins of some other local pages, one which is hopefully more local to you: NAPP – UK, NAPP – Canada, NAPP – Arizona, NAPP – Chicago, Illinois.

Once before I have unofficially created a countdown widget for OS X for Photoshop World. Now that I will be going to Photoshop World Orlando (March 24-46), I thought this would be the time to make a new widget available to the world.

As said, the widget is for OS X and works from 10.4.3 and up. Just download, unzip and double-click the widget file to install.
