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.

After a couple of weeks of running the poll for next video tutorial, it looks like everyone wants to see Adobe Illustrator lessons. I hadn't realized that this would be such a hot topic.

So, with that in mind, I will be posting a new tutorials soon for Adobe Illustrator which happens to be one of my favorite programs. I used it a lot in various projects from advertisements, brochures, business cards, logos, stationary, web design and often as a tool for PDF deconstruction.

Thinking about covering the pen tool in the first lesson. It seems to be the most difficult tool to master for some and I have a few pointers that will have you creating paths with ease and speed.

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.
