I was reading a book online called 'The Digital Matte Painting Handbook' by David B. Mattingly, because I have always been interested in scene creation for movies and ran across an interesting quote.

At the end of February, I was invited to attend an award ceremony known as the Hermes and held by the American Advertising Federation. The reason? I was told I had won an award by my employer who submitted two of my online Flash adverts produced during 2011.

I apologize for the delay on the promised Illustrator tutorials. I had a couple started that I had needed to edit but unfortunately, my iMac has been in and out of the shop a lot lately and haven't been able to get them finished.

The good news is I have a brand new iMac and just got everything reinstalled and setup again. I should be able to post some videos soon.

Back in June this year, I had issues with my Nikon D200 DSLR camera and was bad enough to require repair. The problem I experienced came during a photo walk in downtown Dayton.

I started shooting bracketed shots for exposure of this really nice modern building when the shutter stuck closed during the fourth shot. The LCD readout on top flashed "ERR". Powering it off and on did nothing and still gave error message.

Reluctantly, I sent it of to Nikon for repair. I said that because I had heard some bad stories about Nikon service and wasn't really in a spot to pay for the repair.
