The World Without Photoshop -iPad App UPDATE

I wanted to give you an up date on
"The World Without Photoshop" iPad App that I was recently featured in...

So in little over 3 weeks we have had about 15,000 downloads on the book!

It made the new and notable list in iTunes when it came out
and was in the top 10 downloads for the first 10 days getting as high as number 3.
and it is still in the top 25.... no other "book" comes close....

Considering there are 50000 iPad apps thats pretty good.

The World Without Photoshop -iPad App

I was recently honored to be included as one of the 1st Photographers in the new iPad Application "The World Without Photoshop". It is a cool new interactive iPad book that features the work of a dozen artists and is also celebrating the 20th year anniversary of Adobe Photoshop.

There has been a great response, so far the app has been downloaded over 1,700 times since releasing 2 days ago. You can mouse over transitions to see the progression of an image build and also see little video interviews. It's pretty cool. (See Description Below)

You can download the app for free on Itunes @ http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/world-without-photoshop/id401892897?mt=8#

PDN "Tech - E Project" Feature Article

Well February is on it's way out and March is coming in with a bang. I was honored to receive another feature article in PDN in this month's March issue. They did a 3 page article in their "Tech - E Projects" on the work we did for Turkel Advertising for the current Campaign for The Miami Conventions and Visitor Bureau (MiamiCVB -Tourism).

We've been getting some good PR lately in PDN, with winning 1st Place in the Advertising category in the Digital PIX contest, then a small "Behind the Lens" Feature in the following month's issue (both for the AT&T work we did with BBDO). I'm going to have to send some cookies as a thank you! :- )
