SPAC – School Photographers Association of California

I don’t know the exact numbers for the attendance at SPAC this year, but it wasn’t many more then attended our User’s group meeting.  Many of those at SPAC were from those at the User’s group meeting.

PhotoLynx Users Group Was Hugely Successful!

We started our user’s group meeting with a deep sea fishing trip on Wednesday.  I wasn’t able to be there because I was traveling home from Jacksonville, but by the pictures I saw and what everyone who went fishing said, it was a great time.  Word of the fishing trip even got around those who [...]

Warm Welcome For Some of Our Troops!

Great School Portraits in 39 Seconds: It’s Elementary with the Right Workflow

I just spent the day at a Pre-Convention Imaging USA taking place at Sepcon listening to Chris Wonder.  He was speaking about “Great School Portraits in 39 Seconds: It’s Elementary with the Right Workflow”.  I spoke the last couple of hours about fitting PhotoLynx into the underclass workflow.  I had to leave just before it [...]

Windows 7 Beta is Here!

Not even 2 years after the release of Vista, Windows 7 is ready for beta-testing through Microsoft.  It really is just a polished version of Vista.  But, many are touting that Windows 7 is what Vista should have been when it was released.
