Welcome to my technology blog!
Come check me out when I’m out and about in your area!
I’m just returning from Detroit (my first home), where I delivered my first TEDx talk for TEDx Detroit — “AI is Here.” It was an honor! I’ll have more photos to share when the official ones are released, but here’s the REPLAY of my talk for those who couldn’t attend. Watch it here:
If you want to see the full day, here’s:

I initially intended this post to share news about the events I’ll be speaking at, notably my forthcoming TEDx Detroit talk. However, as I began updating my blog with these details, I discovered the old plugin, Gigpress, that I’ve been relying on is no longer in use. It’s been succeeded by the more modern Events Calendar plugin. Thrilled about this, I promptly integrated it into my site and populated it with all my forthcoming appearances. As a result, this post has taken a new direction. I invite you to visit my revamped Events Page, where you’ll find details on both my in-person talks and live streams, which I promise to keep current.
You can check out and bookmark my NEW Events Page here.
P.S. If you missed my Photoshop World Keynote earlier this week, you can check it out here.
It’s time for one of my favorite conferences and once I again I get to teach some of my favorite subjects. If you’re coming to Photoshop World 2018 in Orlando Florida I’ll be happy to see you in my classes:
On Thursday, May 31 you can join me in the Partner Pavilion – Adobe Theater for “Seven Ways to Improve Your Photos with Lightroom Classic CC”

NYC!
Last year I got an incredible opportunity to spend part of my sabbatical in Iceland. See the story here. Of course when I got back many of my friends, fans and family asked “Why didn’t you take me with you?” “Next time, take me with you.” “Do you need an assistant?” Well here’s your chance to go with me this year. The good folks over at focusonnature.is are dedicating one of their amazing tours to me and a small group of photographers that want to tag along. It’s rare that I travel to the same place on vacation two years in a row, but in this case I’m willing to take one for the team 🙂 You can get the details here.
Many of you know that I started my Adobe 20th Anniversary sabbatical on August 1st and if you would have asked me on August 1st did I have any big trips planned I would have said no. This was going to be more of a staycation. However, I got the chance to go to Iceland at the last minute. It was AMAZING! There’s just no way that I can do this story justice by posting the images and text here, so I decided to the next best thing and that is to tell my story with Adobe Spark Page which you can view below (just click and start scrolling):
I would say that this was a once in a lifetime trip, but I won’t because I have a feeling that I’ll go back and shoot some more. Iceland is amazing. If you get the chance to go there, take it! Special shoutout to Scott Kelby, Einar Eriendsson and Ragnar Og Ásdís for making this the perfect trip. I hope to do a workshop soon in Iceland with Einar.
This was a photographic trip, so the gear was important. I didn’t really call it out in the Spark Page above, so I’ll do so here as an added bonus to my blog readers:
I did a LOT on the go with Adobe Mobile Apps, you should definitely check out this new book to see what’s possible:
DJI Phantom 2 Vision + Quadcopter (drone) I have the older model, go for the Phantom 4.
Gitzo Traveler Carbon Fiber Tripod
Anker Powercore 20100
Arkon TW Broadcaster Pro
iPad Pro 12.9″ w/ Apple Pencil
Thinktank Streetwalker Backpack
I couldn’t have done this without Adobe Lightroom CC and Photoshop CC
It’s almost time for one my favorite Adobe conferences of the year! Yep, Photoshop World is just around the corner and as usual I’ve got more than a few classes. For those of you who have never been to Photoshop World, you should definitely check it out at least once in your life. You are pretty much guaranteed to walk away knowing a lot more about Photoshop and the rest of the Adobe Creative Cloud products and services. This year’s conference takes place July 19-21 in Las Vegas NV. As a matter of fact, this is the last week to save $100 (register before June 10th here).

I’ve been into gadgets and technology since I was a kid. Yet believe it or not CES 2016 was my 1st CES (Consumer Electronics Show). It was always something that I said, “I’m going to the next one!” and then it would always sneak up on me and be too late to plan a trip. Well this time I made plans early and took off work to go. I expected a gigantic tradeshow with lots of cool gear to look at, but what I actually got was a little different…
Many of you know that I embraced Live Streaming early on. Periscope launched on March 26, 2015 and I did my first LIVE broadcast on March 27th using the App. Since then I’ve been streaming on Periscope on a regular basis as well as Facebook Mentions Live. I also stream twice a week on the Adobe Twitch.tv channel. Last night I got the word that I’ve been added to the list of speakers for the upcoming Periscope Summit in San Francisco January 14-17, 2016. I’m honored not only to be a speaker but to speak about something I’m passionate about and that is Live Streaming and Photography.
But wait, there’s more…
