HURRY, before it's too late to apply!
The Multimedia Workshop (Oct. 17-21) is a five- day intensive immersion into the art of storytelling using multiple forms of media. The workshop is intended for photojournalists at daily news- papers who have experience in audio gathering and story production for documentary Web-enhanced story telling but who want to improve their skills in this emerging form of media. Story development, audio gathering, interview techniques and content editing for a personal multimedia project will be a part of this workshop. The workshop will focus primarily on still photojournalism and audio. Video shooting, lighting and production will be addressed and may be incorporated into the final production.

At Aperture in Action, you’ll hear the best sports shooters in the business discuss how they use Aperture to organize their field-to-studio workflows and manage the thousands of pictures they take every time they go out on a job. They’ll also share tips and tricks for using Aperture to create unforgettable, heart-stopping images.
I pimped Adobe, so how about Apple, not that they need anymore hype this week, but Aperture does need our help. All you SportsShooters, check this out.

Beware of those who post in CAPITALS.
Sacramento, Topeka, Austin, Boise, Little Rock…
But seriously, that Mountain Workshop looks really cool… too bad it cost $600… and I’m still saving up to replace my Toshiba laptop to get a… how did you put it… “a real laptop” from Apple. ;)
Biggest ego on the web? Hilarious…
I doubt R has the biggest ego in the Merc-News photo dept!
Oh, my…these intertrucktubenets are amusing.
I find great use in your useless information. keep it coming!
I often find your “useless info” to be quite useful. Ignore the naysayers.
Love the site man…… Useless? I really find it usefull, almost too much to ingest at once. Thanks for bringing us all of this excellent information. Some of us really are trying to bring our newsrooms into the future, even if they are kicking and screaming the entire way.
whose mike….?
