Learning Digital

It is the total knowledge and command of technical expertise that frees you to accept the image that unfolds in front of you. Each time the camera rises to your eye, all of your knowledge should flow into the moment, and nothing should be without your control. This is what gives you the freedom to see.

"Artists Look Like This": Arnold Newman's Portraits

Thursday, February 23rd at 5 p.m., there will be a lecture entitled "Artists Look Like This": Arnold Newman's Portraits, at the Zimmerman Recital Hall at Lebanon Valley College. The lecture will be presented by Shannon Egan, Ph. D., Director of the Schmucker Art Gallery at Gettysburg College. Egan is an Assistant Professor of art and art history at Gettysburg, and a specialist in the history of photography.

The lecture will be based on the work of photographer Arnold Newman, whose images are currently on display at the Suzanne H. Arnold Art Gallery at Lebanon Valley College. The Suzanne H. Arnold Art Gallery is recognized as one of the region's foremost spaces in which to experience the achievements of internationally renowned artists and art movements of yesterday and today. Housed in a former church in the medieval-revival style, the Gallery is host to five to six exhibitions a year, with loans from major national and regional art museums, galleries, and collectors.

The lecture is open to the public and is free. The Zimmerman Recital Hall is a part of the Suzanne H. Arnold Gallery space. This is an opportunity to view the exhibit is you have not yet done so, or to see it again and gain additional insight into the work of this icon of American photography.

DOSHI Gallery

Art is an Entrée, not a Dessert

DOSHI Gallery
State Museum of Pennsylvania
February 12 - July 15th, 2012

The DOSHI Gallery at The State Museum of Pennsylvania, a Project of the Susquehanna Art Museum features 33 artworks from 20 regional established and emerging artists. In celebration of the DOSHI Gallery's 40th anniversary, this exhibit was inspired by the powerful role art plays in our lives and the importance of the masses it inspires in a plethora of ways.

Artists responded to the following description: Art has the power to transform communities, individuals and the world. Art has healing power. Art has value beyond what money can buy. Art has been carried forward after the death of civilizations. Art is not a luxury, just ancillary to life on this planet - it is nourishment for the soul and for the community. Art must be thought of as an entree, not a dessert.

The State Museum of Pennsylvania is located at 300 North Third Street in Harrisburg. The State Museum of Pennsylvania is open Wednesday-Saturday 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. and Sunday noon to 5 p.m.

Adobe Section

Automatic updates with Adobe products have made notification of updates redundant, so I will no longer be concerned with posting every update announced for Raw, Photoshop, Elements, or Lightroom on the website. I may note more important updates in the mini-newsletter.

I suggest that about once every month you go to the help menu and choose "updates" to force your program to check for you. If you are not a consistent user you may find this a more effective method of keeping up to date. Adobe currently recommends using the update feature from within the programs as the best method of doing this both for convenience and reliability. The list below may help you determine some updates.

In addition there are the following Adobe sites you might want to check out for information on updates, current versions and such:

Of course, if you have a question I will be happy to help you research an answer. You can contact me using the form on the contact page.
