About our guest speaker:

"I'm honored you asked me to participate in this presentation. To clarify, I am what you would call 'a very serious amateur' photographer right now. Serious enough to buy a Nikon D2X last summer, and serious enough to purchase Aperture. I was a semi-professional photographer about 15 years ago doing mostly weddings and portraits, but had to give it up because I didn't have enough time for both my regular job and my love of photography at that level. Many of the comments I offer on the forum are based on those experiences, as well as being very involved in digital photography for the past 10 years.

I purchased Aperture not only because it gives me an excellent way to review and categorize the digital photos I shoot when I go out, but to produce end products with ease. You can see my first website using Aperture on my dot.mac webpage . The images were adjusted in Aperture and then sharpened and 'framed' in Photoshop. Aperture then created the website for me.
