iPad Shipped Today

I preordered an iPad on March 30th and was planning for delivery after April 12th based on the confirmation email I got. However tonite I just received and email from Apple saying my 64GB WiFi iPad has shipped. I'm excited, I got to play with one last Saturday at MacOutfitters in Cranberry, PA and I loved the photo app. As an iPhone user I can't wait to be able to have a little more elbow room with this thing and I'm looking forward to some of the new apps being released for like Netflix and ABC . I'm looking forward to the possibilities this iPad will have as a tool for photographers, mostly as a presentation device.

Vincent Laforet has plans to send his portfolio out digitally to art buyers on iPad's and has already order a number of them with that in mind. I'd like to see Lightroom in a scaled down version for the iPad that would make presentations at weddings possible or as a way to present my photos to clients as well. But sorry, at least for now my iPad is going home with me!

Back In Time Fridays

I've decided that on Fridays I'm going to attempt to post an image from previous years work. An old image that I just edited to use for this blog or something that I think might be good for exhibits and art shows. I remember reading that Ansel Adams would go back to negatives 20 years later and reprint and reinterpret them. I'm certainly not an Ansel Adams by any means and I don't have digital files from 20 years ago either. But I find that relooking at files from images taken just several years ago I see different things in them that I want to bring out. In addition the editing power of tools like Photoshop and Lightroom add to that capability.

I hope you enjoy the image today it was shot on Marthas Vineyard in 2006 and is of Quitsah Harbor.
