APA|DC Presents

Medium and Large format solutions for under $10K

Data Storage/Management, Creative/Productive Applications, Monitors, Calibration, Printers, Workflow, Video.  As photographers we all have questions regarding which equipment is best suited for our creative/productive needs.  Many times it’s difficult to wade through marketing hype/sales pitches to get real world answers from knowledgeable professionals with a broad range of experience and understanding of our profession.

With our next APA/DC Brown Bag Meeting we have created a unique opportunity.  Steve Hendrix with Capture Integration has agreed to participate and share his broad scope of knowledge.  As with all APA/DC Brown Bag Meetings this will be an informal discussion where all participate and share their experience.  Steve will be present to offer his unique insight and answer any questions we may have.

Steve has devoted over 10 years to helping photographers get the best results possible through his frank and knowledgeable grasp of the industry and the products that help photographers achieve their goals and objectives. Steve has worked for Sinar, Imacon and Phase One, and spent time at the dealer level selling all of the top products available to photographers. While he specializes in high end digital capture, he also has an advanced background in color management as well as storage and archival workflows.

NATIONAL PRESS CLUB – WHNPA PANEL DISCUSSION, JANUARY 20, 2010

President Obama: One Year Later

The White House News Photographer’s Association will highlight four award-winning visual journalists in a panel discussion highlighting their images and experiences in cover the first year of the Obama Administration. The panel will include: Stephen Crowley, Staff Photographer, New York Times; Charles Dharapak, Staff Photographer, Associated Press; Brooks Kraft, Photographer, Time Magazine; and Jim Long, Videographer, NBC News and will be moderated by Paul Morse, former White House Deputy Director of Photography.

The event will take place at the National Press Club on January 20, 2010, from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM.

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.
