GigaPan Magazine
Check out the first edition of GigaPan Magazine featuring GigaPan images created by Point Park University Digital Photo Editing students. The students used the GigaPan robot camera as a tool of reportage to create articles and imagery in a new interactive way.
The student produced GigaPan images will be on display at the Point Park University Library during the fall 2009 semester. The library is located at 414 Wood Street in downtown Pittsburgh.
In this edition I was given the honor of writing the 'About' section. Thanks to Dror Yaron, Outreach Coordinator of CMU's CREATE lab who partnered with my Digital Photo Editing class on this project and for the opportunity.

Production shot from my recent shoot at the United Cerebral Palsy of Pittsburgh. Here, I am photographing program directors with a two light set-up. Both lights are Nikon SB-800's. The front light is bounced into a Calumet umbrella, the rear light is direct. The exposure was made for about 1.5 stops under ambient light.
Iva Provias made this photograph with my Canon G9

Father Ryan Arts Center
I recently was assigned to photograph HDR images of the Father Ryan Arts Center in McKees Rocks where I am the contract photographer.
This image was shot normally as a 9 stop HDR. I processed the 32 bit file in Photoshop, saved as a TIFF. Next I open the image in the Photomatix stand alone program and process the image there. I usually use the Photoshop plugin. The image was then tweaked in Photoshop. I like the results, they are comparable to what I have been able to achieve with the plug-in.
I learned this process from a student in my HDR program which was presented to the Pittsburgh chapter of the American Society of Media Photographers (ASMP).
Get 20 professionals together with a copy of Photoshop and you are bound to learn something even if you are the teacher.

A Quick One Minute Tour
Earlier this week the finishing touches were added to my exhibition Our State Park:Western Pennsylvania. The exhibition is being held at the Photo Forum Fine Art Gallery which is located in the USX Tower upper lobby. It will remain in the space until mid-June 2009.
The Photo Forum Gallery is coordinated by Eric Mendolson. Some of the other artists Photo Forum has feature are Harold Edgerton, Robert Rauschenberg, Andy Warhol, Jerry Uelsman and Imogen Cunningham to name a few.
It is a great honor for me to display in the same forum as these photography greats and I am honored that Eric thought highly enough of my project to display in this noted space.
I'd also like to thank Tim Fabian for introducing me to Mendolson.
