No one is more passionate about printing CMYK correctly than DC photographer Rick McCleary.  Rick has worked with local DC printers and prepress houses to color manage the RGB to CMYK process that photographers and designers need to use to get it printed right.   Rick is active in the DC  Photographers scene; he is a board member of ASMP-DC.

The book starts out with an overview of the problems associated with digital photography workflow and CMYK printing.  It then moves on to proposed solutions and ends with technical details of the processes involved in converting images to CMYK.  The book has nicely printed images with deep and rich blacks; showing that Rick can practice what he preaches.   I think Rick has hit the mark with this book and I hope photographers, designers, and printers use this as a reference.  I think every copy sold will make the world a more beautiful place, thanks Rick.

I’m happy to see one of my ASMP presentation ideas come to life.  Way back when I was president of ASMP, and we were planning presentations for the year, I had the idea to let a bunch of photographers show their work and talk about it for 10 minutes each.  The idea didn’t make the cut that year, but last year the idea came to life as “10X10″: 10 Photographers for 10 min each.  Unfortunately photographers are long winded and the show was went a bit  long.  For this year, the brilliant ASMP board has renamed it 8X10.  Good job ASMP-DC board of directors and volunteers.

I would still love to see one of my other programs come to life:  an ASMP Buy Sell Trade day.  Just like the camera traders do on occasion: rent a hotel conference room with tables for a  Saturday; each photographer can rent a table to display their old gear for sale.   The event needs to be marketed through camera clubs and stores.  DC-Phtoographers-Resource is happy to help set this up if there is any interest.
