Looking back on Macworld...

Last week was the annual Macworld convention here in San Francisco. It went extremely well. ASMP was present at the Digital Photo Experience booth, where we had many of our professional photographers answering all kinds of questions to the Macworld attendees. There were many wonderful advancements in the computer world on display at the various booths and it was a pleasure to be able to be part of the show.
I was able to catch the Steve Jobs keynote (after waiting for two hours in the fog) and put my hands on the new Macbook Air. I see the new laptop as a nice solution for the photographer on the go. An appropriate compromise between the iPhone and the Macbook Pro.
As many of you may know, ASMP hosted New York Times columnist, David Pogue at Blue Sky Studios on Wednesday night. The event was a tremendous success. David gave a very entertaining presentation on "The Megapixel Myth". He discussed the tendency by camera manufacturers to propagate the idea that the higher the megapixels, the better the image quality. He had the room full of professional photographers rolling in the aisles. It was truly a wonderful event and we were very fortunate to be able to host him.
The following is a link to David's NY Times column on Macworld:

Thats all for now. I hope that next year's Macworld will be as great a success.
