I'll use cs6 as long as I can then switch to something else.  Tom www.kachadurian.comCall me crazy. I happen to like photos of cats.

Professional user and teacher for more than 15 years. I am going to cancel future Photoshop classes because I won't hook others in.

I'll continue to use CS-6 until I find something new, but I...

So now DPReview is the PR wing of Adobe. Not a good move, but I'm guessing greed follows greed.

Time was DPR was my first stop every day and the often throughout. Now I check in a few times week....

It wasn't nearly as good until about cs2. I also lived through this. It was frustration with quark's unstable verification that opened the door. I saw one production house (20 licenses) decide to...

Adobe killed quarkXpress with inDesign only because quark got greedy. I've been using (and paying for) photoshop since version 2.0.

But I'll find another solution. There is always something else.

Add-on viewfinder = no thanks. Tom www.kachadurian.comCall me crazy. I happen to like photos of cats.

Hi, I need help. I'm trying to use a few manual focus lenses with my OMD. I can't find in the manual how to map MF focus magnification to one of the function buttons. Is it possible? Thanks, Tom

If it's tried and true, it's getting shopworn. Use your eyes and see what works. Keep it VERY simple. One light in a softbox or with a white umbrella, and one reflector. Put your camera on a tripod...

I think a lot of us have had that dream for a while now.  Tom

I had a cat for 17 years. He was my business partner and desk companion. Sadly, after he died my son's winter head colds cleared right up. Now I have a dog.  But I still love...

I've been doing a series of Blog posts on photography basics. The current installment is on aperture and has direct application to landscape photography. Aperture is the most important setting for...

Aperture is probably the most significant setting on a camera. My Lesson three is mostly samples of several scenes each photographed at a range of apertures with discussion of the images. I just...

I like it, but I don't like the thing in her hair. Doesn't work in B&W. Tom

An odd combination of clothing. She's topless, which is not required for breastfeeding. Either make it about skin - nude baby, nude mom, or make it real. This is looks like someone working through...

Only a few things left, be sure to check the list on-line. Also, if you do want something please contact me via email, not with a private DPR message. Thanks to everyone. Tom

Sold, thanks. Tom

Yawn. talk about a giant step backward. Where's the viewfinder port? Isn't that a mistake Olympus made way back with the E-P1 and never again.

I had some prices too high. I have revised the list and deleted the things that sold. http://kachadurian.com/thk/PhotoEstateSale_rev.pdf Tom www.kachadurian.comCall me crazy. I happen to like...

Over the next few weeks I'll be selling several Nikon lenses from a photographers friend's estate. He was a full time doctor and part-time photographer and his equipment is barley used. I already...

In February a lifelong friend of mine lost his short battle with cancer. He was a great photographer and leaves behind a significant body of work. You can see his work...
