The greatest virtual photography conference of the summer is only weeks away😁. Check out the speaker line-up below and consider registering! It will be recorded if you can't attend the 13 hours of live sessions.

As I've been putting my Photo Restoration presentation together, it isn't without bittersweet moments. One of my fears (which I try not to think about) is being forgotten after I'm gone to include what is going to happen to my own photographs. I'll have to leave specific instructions in my Last Will & Testament, tell my kids which external hard drive contains what, and show them the ancestry files so that they can keep memories alive for future generations, etc.

I have images of my ancestors from the late 1800s and beyond (previously scanned by my Dad & sister - see cartoon below) and I think if they are looking down on me they are thrilled to be acknowledged over 100 years later. The person who took the photo is excited that their photography is still being shown! So, photo restoration and keeping old memories alive has great purpose if ya ask me. Anywhoooo, I need to go grab a tissue. Hope to see you on June 27th and 28th!

I just made these fun stickers using ChatGPT (it sure beats doing housework)! Use the Chibi Sticker-Pack Design to create it and show me your stickers in the comments!

P.S. I've never heard the term Chibi Stickers until today - it's a Japanese artistic aesthetic portraying characters as short, cute and stout and this is the only case I'd like to be stout😂. Ya learn something new every day. Now I'll have to see if I can separate these and use them in presentations and elsewhere!

Take a look at what someone created with ChatGPT.

If you live in New Jersey or that vicinity, be sure to check out the offerings at T&F Camera! In addition to gear and classes, they have a fun outdoor studio with all sorts of props (swings, spiral staircases, old trucks, etc.) that you can rent if you are a portrait photographer. I've done a few great workshops there over the years when I lived in that neck of the woods.

Join us at T&F Camera in Vineland every Saturday this month for a brand new in house photography class.

Need help with your new camera? Just looking to sharpen your skills? Maybe you want to experiment with a new style?

From learning technical skills, to networking with fellow photographers, these classes are a no brainer for anyone with a camera and a free Saturday.

Stop in every Saturday for a new way to explore photography. For questions visit the website, or stop in anytime.

What an amazing result if ya ask me, thanks to the power of the Luminar Neo Restoration Tool! I colorized it then used the Portrait Tools to make my mom's eyes blue (b/c that's what they were in real life).

Can you tell if a photo is real or AI? Skylum just created a fun challenge. Robert Vanelli, the Director of Education for Skylum, sent it to me and now I am forwarding it to community member Nick Buchko. Watch this clip to see my score (you can tell I'm not AI in the video - I could really benefit from the Luminar Neo Portrait Tools and some acting classes😂.)

Try it, post your score in the comments, and challenge someone else! Here's the game link! https://luminar-game.skylum.com/
