                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Bellingham, WA (PRWEB) May 15, 2009 -- John Moore of Getty Images, whose gripping photographs of the assassination of Benazir Bhutto in late 2007, earned him two first-place World Press Photo awards, will be among the presenters at this year&#039;s Bellingham Visual Journalism Conference.

Moore was the sole American journalist present when Bhutto was assassinated on December 27, 2007 in Rawalpindi, Pakistan. Earlier this year he was named 2008 &quot;Magazine Photographer of the Year&quot; from Pictures of the Year International (POYi) and was awarded &quot;Photojournalist of the Year&quot; from the National Press Photographers Association (NPPA).

The conference will take place at Western Washington University on Friday and Saturday, July 17-18. Moore joins a lineup of presenters that also includes Michel du Cille, three-time Pulitzer Prize winner and assistant managing editor for photography at The Washington Post; Seattle Times photojournalist Alan Berner, NPPA Region 11 2008 Photographer of the Year; Meredith Birkett, senior multimedia editor for special projects at MSNBC.com; and Scott Mc Kiernan, CEO/founder of ZUMA Press and publisher of DOUBLEtruck Magazine and zReportage.com. 
Also, multimedia photojournalist Wes Pope, most recently at The Rocky Mountain News; Heidi de Laubenfels, deputy managing editor for strategy and product development at The Seattle Times; and Jim Seida, senior multimedia producer at msnbc.com.

The conference is sponsored by Western Washington University&#039;s Department of Journalism.

Leaders in the field of visual journalism, including video and still photographers, multimedia producers, agents, and online editors, will share their expertise. Attendees will have the opportunity to explore new avenues for visual storytelling, upgrade their skills, and have their portfolios critiqued by professional visual journalists.
Two concurrent and intensive multimedia workshops, one on producing audio slideshows and the other on shooting video, will be offered Friday, July 17. Cost of each workshop is $100, and space is limited; registration is first-come, first-served. 

The conference is offering free registration on Saturday for visual journalists who have been laid off from their jobs in the past year. Proceeds from a silent auction of photographic prints will help offset those costs. 

Registration fees: 
&#8226;	Both days (workshop and presentations): $150.
&#8226;	Professionals for Saturday&#039;s presentations only (includes lunch): $75.  
&#8226;	Students for Saturday&#039;s presentations only: $50.

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Houston, Texas (PRWEB) February 15, 2009 -- The families of the Ronald McDonald House traveled around the world in sixty seconds and they have the pictures to prove it.  Houston Green Screen volunteers provided the children and their families with photographs of themselves superimposed into places like the Eiffel Tower and Niagara Falls.  The photographs from the event can be viewed at <a href="http://www.houstongreenscreen.com" onclick="linkClick( this.href );"  target="_blank">www.houstongreenscreen.com</a>.

Houston Green Screen spent the evening with the families smiling in front of a green screen backdrop.  The children were given the opportunity to choose destinations where they would most like to visit.  Brandon Barchus, the director of Houston Green Screen, said, &quot;It came to me in a dream one night.  The families at the Ronald McDonald House don&#039;t get the chance to get out that often, so why not bring their favorite vacation spots to them.&quot;  All of the green screen photos from the event were given to the children and their families as presents.  The event was also hosted by Southwest Airlines who provided dinner and drinks.  

Barchus said, &quot;For some reason, a lot of the kids really wanted to go to the North Pole. The children had chili for dinner so maybe they thought they were warm enough.&quot;  If that was the destination of choice, Houston Green Screen service volunteers prompted the children to pretend like it was really cold outside.  Other top spots chosen were the beaches of Hawaii and Mount St. Helens as it was erupting.  He also mentioned that there was even someone who chose the San Jacinto monument, and that made him smile.

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Hawalli, Kuwait (PRWEB) August 17, 2008 -- Madlen Krushev and Hrant Keoshgerian have joined in a strategic alliance to offer their fashion attire, jewelry and art to the world. Sloppy Angel offers made to order jewelry by Hrant Keoshgerian and made to order attire by Madlen Krushev. The company also features the sales of Madlen Krushev&#039;s ready made artwork, apparel and prints. These two have paired up to offer unique and appealing designs from Russia and Armenia to the rest of the world. Sloppyangel.com makes their otherwise unreachable talent available to all.

Freelance writer and web designer, Ian Lin, from Akron, Ohio in the United States, says: &quot;Sloppyangel.com brings exciting new fashion concepts, trendy art and luxurious jewelry to the mainstream global community.&quot;

Madlen Krushev is a renowned fashion designer from Russia. She does widely sought after fashion designs and art work. Her artwork includes pastels, oil pastels, chalk pastels, oil paintings, charcoal, charcoal sketch, chalk, pen &#38; ink, charcoal portraits, and even pen &#38; ink Christmas cards. Madlen has provided her services as a fashion designer and an artist to an exclusive clientele from Kuwait and around the world for the past 18 years. All of her women&#039;s clothing articles and artwork are available for purchase at 

<a href="http://www.sloppyangel.com" onclick="linkClick( this.href );"  target="_blank">http://www.sloppyangel.com</a>. Madlen Krushev is a shining example of the positive direction that Russian fashion has taken since its explosive appearance on to the scene in the 1990&#039;s. As some may know, the Russian fashion world was greatly inhibited by past governmental control and has only been allowed to freely prosper during the past few decades. The pent up fashion sense of many Russians being allowed to suddenly release has been accredited to several brilliant designers such as Madlen to really come forth with their best designs.

Hrant Keoshgerian is a renowned jewelry designer from Armenia and has been making jewelry and been involved in jewelry design for over 12 years. His brand name, H.K. Jewelry also known as H.K. Creations, is available worldwide and may be purchased through <a href="http://www.sloppyangel.com" onclick="linkClick( this.href );"  target="_blank">http://www.sloppyangel.com</a> where there are photos of his designs and many of his sketches as well. According to the C.I.A. Factbook, Armenia&#039;s number one industry is diamond-processing. With jewelry making ranking fourteenth, it comes as no surprise that we should be seeing very talented jewelry designers like Hrant coming from Armenia.

Sloppy Angel also supports honest to goodness charities for needy children and helpless animals such as: Orphan Sponsorship International and Animal Friends League of Kuwait. There are links to both on their website. Their fashionable women&#039;s clothing, art and jewelry are all available now online.

This venture allows two wonderful talents to be available to the entire world. Russian fashion and Armenian jewelry have not been so easy for Americans and residents of other countries around the world to access until now. The joint venture promotes a rare and widely sought after Russian clothing line, the same designer&#039;s unique paintings and sketches and the popular jewelry styles from a country that really knows its jewelry, Armenia.

Sloppy Angel makes it possible for people throughout the world to view and purchase Madlen Krushev&#039;s line of women&#039;s clothing, her art work and Hrant Keoshgerian&#039;s jewelry through their new website at: <a href="http://www.sloppyangel.com" onclick="linkClick( this.href );"  target="_blank">http://www.sloppyangel.com</a>.

Swiss Picture Bank is different from other &quot;storage&quot; sites, because:
&#8226; Your pictures are safe - guaranteed.
&#8226; You pay once per picture - there are no recurring fees.
&#8226; You choose from a range of long term security plans, beginning at only 3 cents per picture for 30 years.
&#8226; Your account is hosted in data centers operated by Swisscom IT Services - together with its subsidiary Comit, the leading provider of IT infrastructure to Swiss banks.
&#8226; You protect your memories and the environment at the same time - Swiss Picture Bank will preserve your photos for decades using &quot;green&quot; storage powered by energy supplies that are 98% carbon free.

More about Swiss Picture Bank
<a href="http://www.swisspicturebank.com/" onclick="linkClick( this.href );"  target="_blank" title="Swiss Picture Bank">Swiss Picture Bank</a> is the first service designed to keep your pictures safe, organized and accessible for generations to come. When you upload photos to Swiss Picture Bank, you&#039;re doing more than storing them on the web. Every photo is encrypted, secured on redundant servers in data centers throughout Switzerland and backed by the Picture Guarantee Foundation (PGF), a not-for-profit Swiss foundation established to independently ensure the long-term continuity of pictures.

&quot;The long-term preservation of electronic data is perhaps the single greatest problem of the information age that remains unsolved,&quot; says James Graham, partner at Tribeca Labs, Swiss Picture Bank&#039;s parent company. &quot;Our irreplaceable memories are no longer prints that can be stored in a shoebox; they are computer files that can be lost in a second. That&#039;s why we partnered with the data professionals at Swisscom to create Swiss Picture Bank - to give consumers an online savings account that will protect their most treasured memories against everything from accidental deletion to hardware failure to natural disasters.&quot;

Photobot Guardian - Peace of Mind Automatically
With Photobot Guardian, Swiss Picture Bank&#039;s free photo-archiving software available to every user, every photo is automatically copied to your account for you. &quot;In the same way our Photobot software revolutionized digital picture correction by completely automating the process,&quot; explains Graham, &quot;Photobot Guardian brings our fully-automatic, Zero-Click&#8482; philosophy to securing your pictures. Simply install the free Photobot Guardian software on your computer and select the folders you want monitored. Whenever the program finds a new image, Photobot Guardian sends a copy to your Swiss Picture Bank account so that all your pictures will be safe for you, your children and your children&#039;s children to enjoy.&quot;

<a href="http://www.swisspicturebank.com/" onclick="linkClick( this.href );"  target="_blank" title="Swiss Picture Bank">Swiss Picture Bank</a> is the first service designed to keep your pictures safe, organized and accessible for generations to come. When you upload photos to Swiss Picture Bank, you&#039;re doing more than storing them on the web. Every photo is encrypted, secured on redundant servers in data centers throughout Switzerland and backed by the Picture Guarantee Foundation (PGF), a not-for-profit Swiss foundation established to independently ensure the long-term continuity of pictures.

&quot;The long-term preservation of electronic data is perhaps the single greatest problem of the information age that remains unsolved,&quot; says James Graham, partner at Tribeca Labs, Swiss Picture Bank&#039;s parent company. &quot;Our irreplaceable memories are no longer prints that can be stored in a shoebox; they are computer files that can be lost in a second. That&#039;s why we partnered with the data professionals at Swisscom to create Swiss Picture Bank - to give consumers an online savings account that will protect their most treasured memories against everything from accidental deletion to hardware failure to natural disasters.&quot;

Photobot Guardian - Peace of Mind Automatically
With Photobot Guardian, Swiss Picture Bank&#039;s free photo-archiving software available to every user, every photo is automatically copied to your account for you. &quot;In the same way our Photobot software revolutionized digital picture correction by completely automating the process,&quot; explains Graham, &quot;Photobot Guardian brings our fully-automatic, Zero-Click&#8482; philosophy to securing your pictures. Simply install the free Photobot Guardian software on your computer and select the folders you want monitored. Whenever the program finds a new image, Photobot Guardian sends a copy to your Swiss Picture Bank account so that all your pictures will be safe for you, your children and your children&#039;s children to enjoy.&quot;

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[New York (Vocus) April 23, 2007 -- When the dot-com bubble burst five years ago, Francis Hills found himself unemployed and unmotivated.  In a moment of weakness he picked up a point and shoot camera, which began his enlightened journey through the world of celebrity, beauty and fashion photography. On Friday, June 1, The Accidental Photographer opens at the Calumet Photo Gallery, 22 W. 22nd St. in New York. The exhibit, which runs through July 28, celebrates his meteoric rise as a shooting star. Admission is free and open to all ages.



Hills initiated his first brush with fame by writing a personal letter to English actor Alan Cumming. He asked Mr. Cumming, a fellow Brit living in America, if he could take his picture. &quot;Lo and behold, about two days later he called,&quot; Hills said with still-fresh amazement. He is now predominantly a celebrity editorial photographer and the exhibition will feature many of his famous subjects including Willem Dafoe, Rosie Perez, Tatum O&#039;Neal, Mya, Will Arnett, Rebecca Gayheart, Natasha Richardson, Vanessa Minnillo, Liz Phair, Chewitel Ejiofor, Mel B,  Padma Lakshmi, Shane McGowan, Jay Hernandez, Patricia Clarkson and, of course, Alan Cumming.

The Accidental Photographer also offers a glimpse into something closest to his heart: a philanthropic endeavor to benefit breast cancer research. What began as a project to get his work noticed, Clothing Immaterial morphed into an upcoming book and exhibit of black and white nude portraits to support breast cancer awareness. &quot;I wanted to present a strong statement through my photography to raise simple awareness,&quot; said Hills. &quot;But I also wanted to send a message to those women with breast cancer that you&#039;re beautiful, no matter what.&quot; Francis is dedicating the book and exhibit to his mother, a two-time breast cancer survivor.

More than 60 images will be featured in the exhibition including numerous celebrities, fashion and beauty editorials, Clothing Immaterial images and never-before-seen images he took of the French Foreign Legion in Africa and France for an upcoming book project. All the exhibition images will be available for purchase with all proceeds going to a breast cancer charity to help further breast cancer awareness. Francis is also encouraging some of his celebrity subjects to sign their exhibition images. An additional collection of signed celebrity prints will be going on sale exclusively on eBay in July, again, with the proceeds going to charity.

His strikingly steep climb to the top levels of portrait and commercial photography has been launched by his artistic style and trademark smile. Hills brings out the emotion of his subjects because he connects with them in a genuine way. &quot;I&#039;m a people person. I like people, and making them comfortable is key,&quot; he said, flashing that mischievous smile. &quot;Laughter is my favorite thing. I often do my Austin Powers impression. It&#039;s corny as hell, but it always get a smile.&quot; And that&#039;s no accident, baby.

The Calumet Photo Gallery spring schedule opens with Parsons The New School for Design: 2007 BFA Exhibition, May 9 through May 23.  The gallery will be open Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.; Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The gallery will be closed Sunday.

Kinnett&#039;s world class paintings can now be seen at his World Wide Web gallery <a href="http://www.jameskinnett.com" onclick="linkClick( this.href );"  target="_blank">www.jameskinnett.com</a>. 

The website came about after two brothers, Alan and Jim Curtis, childhood friends of Kinnett&#039;s in Chillum, MD, renewed their friendships. The Curtis brothers work together in several Internet related businesses. They were surprised Kinnett had no web presence for his award-winning work. The childhood friends from the suburbs of Washington. D.C. formed Chillum Boys to market Kinnett&#039;s work on the web.

&quot;I remember Jimmy was gifted in elementary school. His sketches were accomplished even then. We met at a reunion after 35 years and I was astounded by his paintings. Showcasing them on the web was logical,&quot; said Alan Curtis.
 
Kinnett&#039;s paintings, unparalleled in their realistic depiction of nature, may never have been created had it not been for a very realistic and adverse period in his life.
 
&quot;You&#039;d better go back and do your painting,&quot; Kay Kinnett told her husband. &quot;It&#039;s God&#039;s gift.&quot;
 
So James Y. Kinnett picked up his brushes after a 20-year hiatus and, now,  since his wife&#039;s cancer death in January 2001, has poured his attention into painting seven days a week. 
 
As Kinnett made his way back to Maryland from his wife&#039;s family home in Texas, he worked on a design of black scoters flying over the Chesapeake Bay with Thomas Point Lighthouse in the background. He finished the painting in a hotel in Tennessee in time to enter it in the fall Federal Duck Stamp competition. He didn&#039;t win, but kept working to finish three more paintings in time for the Maryland Duck Stamp competition. Friends encouraged him to enter the black scoter painting as well. That proved to be Kinnett&#039;s winner.
 
Birds have always been winners for Kinnett. Born in Korea, he was adopted by an American service family, who brought him to Southern Maryland at age nine.
 
&quot;I didn&#039;t speak any English and I expected America to be like the pictures in catalogues,&quot; Kinnett says of that time. &quot;My memory is indistinct, but the transition was not so easy. I was in third grade and I found a baby robin. That&#039;s what started my interest in birds. Every day before school, I went out and grubbed for worms to feed that baby,&quot; he says.
 
Just as his unfolding interest helped Kinnett through the transition to a new land, it returned to help him recover after his wife&#039;s death.
 
&quot;I&#039;ve always sketched and drawn, but after I got married I had to earn a living so I dropped art and got into marketing and sales,&quot; he explained. &quot;That&#039;s not important any more. I&#039;m lucky to have a second chance. God wants me to do something with this talent.&quot;
 
Kinnett&#039;s paintings are watercolors,with the colors applied with a dry brush on dry paper to create an opaque image.
 
&quot;The hardest part is to get a perfect blend of tones in the sky or the background,&quot; says Kinnett. &quot;The birds are easy.&quot;
 
He works from sketches and his own photographs, using elements from a combination of shots and his knowledge of birds to create a unique image. In this case, a taxidermist friend sent detail-photos of wings, head and tail from a black scoter pair he was planning to mount. Maryland...

Revenues in October were nearly double that of a year ago at a run rate of $1,296,000 (<a href="http://www.myphotopipe.com" onclick="linkClick( this.href );"  target="_blank">www.myphotopipe.com</a>).

While the company doesn&#039;t break out product-specific data, October downloads for the software used to create photo book were exceptionally strong as were early shipments of photo greeting cards. Also up were sales of the high-margin photo enlargements, a signature product for the Company. 

The Company attributed the October results partly to the previously announced partnerships with the National Association of Photoshop Professionals and Shutterbug Magazine but largely to the growing popularity of photo prints. Advances in digital cameras have helped more photographers make an extraordinary photograph which, in turn, stimulates an interest in turning that photograph into a print, wall art, framed prints, or photo books.

The Company&#039;s web traffic suggests photographic products will appear in record numbers under Christmas trees across the nation and that this holiday season will be exceptionally strong one for online services.

myPhotopipe.com is an Web 2.0 service that processes digital photos into photographic prints. The Company offers more than 100 print options, online photo sharing, photo books, framed prints, and other photographic products. The Company serves the serious amateur/professional photographer segment of the $7 billion print processing industry.

&quot;People are surprised when they see our products,&quot; says Werner Muff, the company&#039;s president, &quot;because they look like commercially-produced photography books -- the kind you would purchase at a major bookseller.&quot;

Visit printmyphotobook.com and download a free Mac or PC compatible version of the software. Then, import favorite digital images from a cell phone, digital memory cards or computer hard drive and create <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photo_book" onclick="linkClick( this.href );"  target="_blank" title="holiday gift idea christmas baby recipe vacation books do-it-yourself">photo books</a> that friends and family will connect with. Baby books, pictorial years-in-review, vacation memory books, recipe books -- even illustrated volumes of poetry -- are all possibilities. 

Printmyphotobook.com offers a wide variety of sizes, formats, colors, bindings and covers -- and the books can cost as little as a comparable set of 4X6 color prints. Once you&#039;re satisfied with your creation, simply upload the file for online printing and shipping. 

In &quot;advanced&quot; mode, printmyphotobook.com&#039;s software allows users to resize photos on the fly, place up to nine images of varying sizes on a single page or feature one image in a large, two-page panoramic spread.  Layouts accept images and text on the books&#039; front and back covers and volume titles on the spines. A generous selection of typefaces, background colors and special effects add further design flexibility. And because the books are designed off-line, users can complete them at their convenience.

Accurate on-screen presentations and simple point-and-click functions make previewing and revising books quick and painless.  &quot;Before you place an order, you can preview your book, see exactly how it will appear in print and make any desired changes,&quot; Muff says.

Printmyphotobook.com prints its books using only acid-free, archival-quality photographic paper to ensure long lasting, vivid pictures. The books sell for as little as $9.99 for small, 12-36 page pocket-sized editions (4 1/8 X 5 &#190; inches) and for $ 34.99 and up for the largest (10 &#190; X 8 inch) formats, of 36 to 144 pages.

&quot;In the next few years, you&#039;ll be able to sit in your recliner, sip a cup of coffee, and enjoy crisp, startling images of bald eagles raising their young, mosquitoes feeding on the blood of a frog and wildflowers in the heart of the Whitewater Valley.

Savor them, enjoy the work of <a href="http://www.lisalouckschristenson.net" onclick="linkClick( this.href );"  target="_blank" title="Lisa Loucks Christenson">Lisa Loucks Christenson</a> of Rochester. But know that she went through more than a year of mud and mosquitoes, cold and fog, snow and heat to get them.

You should also know that she loved it, enjoyed the daily trip to the valley in snowstorm and fog, relished slithering through muck to sneak up on a frog, and waiting for hours to get a shot of an eagle.&quot;

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Rochester, MN (PRWEB) September 12, 2006 -- Lisa Loucks-Christenson of Rochester, Minnesota, is donating what she said is a rain, fall, and Ducks Unlimited inspired piece. Loucks-Christenson said, &#8220;What started out as just a cool, rainy Sunday with the agenda to fulfill the &#8216;desires of her heart,&#8217; that being to create some new artwork for the Rochester Area Chapter Ducks Unlimited auction, instead turned into a frenzy of wings, as fall-colored feathered birds began flocking to her vision.&#8221; 



Loucks-Christenson picked Sunday September 10, 2006, as the day to go and explore the wetlands after working on her longest running documentary: Walk The Burn, a study of a marsh, which is at 520 consecutive days already.  

Ducks Unlimited (the Rochester, Minnesota, Area Chapter) approached her for a donation for their September 21, 2006, Dinner and Auction. Loucks-Christenson had been mulling over which images she wanted to donate. 

Loucks-Christenson said, &#8220;The image and vision came together as follows: My day started with a flock of wild turkeys I&#8217;d been studying and photographing all summer. However, this day was different. They were on the other side of the trail heading up a hill, a younger clutch &#8211; maybe two months old, tops, and an older clutch, along with a couple mother hen turkeys. As they reached the top of their climb, I noticed a younger turkey strutting, and another one that stretched up and opened his wings. As I photographed him flapping his wings, a vision unfolded of what I wanted to donate. It wasn&#8217;t just one single image. I wanted to &#8216;make a day of flight&#8217; and fly with whatever crossed my path.&#8221;

As she hiked on, she came upon a red-tailed hawk. &#8220;I&#8217;ve witnessed several animals and birds that seem to be my guides in this lifetime, and I follow them unto paths I would not have explored without them leading me. The red-tailed hawk is one such creature, a bird that seems to appear whenever I&#8217;m looking for guidance&#8212;there he is in flight, or perched, or sometimes flying alongside my truck window. When he arrives, I know good things will follow.&#8221;

It was because of her deep attachment and this red-tailed hawk&#8217;s sudden appearance, on that day, that she felt compelled to add his haunting stare into the image that was being stitched with feathers for the Ducks Unlimited print. 

Mid-morning, while covering a back marsh, her eye was pulled to a great blue heron resting in a tree above a marsh. Loucks-Christenson said, &#8220;He watched me for a while and seemed tolerant of the clicking of my shutter; then suddenly, he stood and stretched, and stood tall on his long three-foot legs, and when he did, the yellow and red leaves behind him became extensions of the plumes around his head.&#8221; 

Next, she came across a flock of mallards she&#8217;d been documenting through the spring and summer that were busy preening atop a muskrat lodge. What were once drab-colored birds, with streaks and splotches of tans and whites, uninteresting and often undetectable in the gold and brown marsh grasses, were now birds with patterns, ducks that had grown into their adult bodies and were decorated with blue feathers on their wings like patches of honor.

Talking about what she did as these females stretched and spread their wings, Loucks-Christenson said, &#8220;I shot with a slower shutter speed to capture their movements, as their wings swirled like paint brushes dipping iridescent blues against the drizzle and drops falling on the marsh.&#8221; 

As she traveled down the roads at the marsh, Loucks-Christenson spied a lone pied-billed grebe that... To read the press release in full goto http://www.prweb.com/releases/2006/9/prweb436451.htm]]></content:encoded>

Choi has been studying traditional &#8220;classical&#8221; drawing and painting in Toronto at ARA for only two years.

The Artist&#8217;s Magazine said they are &#8220;pleased to announce that Evelyn Choi has won two prizes in our annual student art competition. She&#8217;s placed first in the Portrait and Figure category for her painting Catia, and third in the Still Life category for her painting Bittersweet. Look for Choi&#8217;s work, along with the work of other student competition winners, in the January/February 2007 issue of The Artist&#8217;s Magazine.&#8221;

ARC wrote to Choi directly, saying: &#8220;You have been awarded Second Place for your entry in the Art Renewal Center&#8217;s 2006 Scholarship Competition. As a result of the very fine work included in your submission you will receive $2,500.00 to continue your studies at the Academy of Realist Art. Also, to highlight this achievement, all winners will have their name and a selected work from their submission posted in a special section of the ARC&#039;s website.&#8221;

Congratulations to Evelyn Choi from her teachers and fellow students at Academy of Realist Art.

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Las Vegas, NV  (PRWEB) April 7, 2006 -- At the Wedding and Portrait Photographers International Conference (WPPI), Seefile Software is announcing their latest innovation- an eCommerce module for Seefile 2.0, their award winning Webserver software for photographers.  Seefile has been praised by Shutterbug, Seybold and Studio Photography and Design and was rated best of Show at PMA 2005.  SeeFile is exhibiting at WPPI booth 1208.



Seefile already allows photographers to simply save files to folders on their hard disk for clients to view and comment on. Now, those photographers can let their customers purchase and download images and order prints, directly off the server through a convenient shopping cart feature. Photographers can price the images as they wish - offering discounts for larger orders or special clients.  As with all existing SeeFile features, this requires only a standard Mac or PC Web browser, with no additional software at the client site.  According to pro photographer Nat Clymer, &quot;this looks like a great way for photographers like me to add value and service to their client relationships&quot;.

While these kinds of capabilities have been offered by a few large hosted sites, these require photographers to upload their files to a server outside their control, and manage the pricing and fulfillment remotely.  While this may be practical for small numbers of images, the revolution in digital capture can mean that hundreds or even thousands of images are generated on each project. By working directly off the photographer&#8217;s hard disk, SeeFile skips the upload step and gives them direct control over file versioning and delivery to their clients.  Traditional methods of image delivery, such as contact sheets and burning CDs on request, can now be reduced dramatically or even eliminated outright.  

Sam Bogoch, CEO of SeeFile, added &quot;we&#039;re really helping photographers maintain control of their business while adding a new level of hands-off order fulfillment&quot;.  SeeFile automatically generates thumbnails and previews for large numbers of RAW, JPEG and TIFF files, as well as automatic watermarks to prevent unauthorized use of those images.  

New Mac mini Bundles...

SeeFile and its dealers worldwide are pre-installing the software on Mac mini systems and delivering the turnkey solution to customers. At WPPI, SeeFile is introducing two new bundles with Apple&#8217;s Intel-based Mac mini; one, with the Core Solo processor, SeeFile 2.0 and SeeFile eCommerce, is priced at $1,499.  The other, with a Core Duo processor, SeeFile 2.0 and SeeFile eCommerce, is priced at $1,699.

SeeFile LLC is an independent software company based in Boston, Massachusetts.  Its CEO, Sam Bogoch, was previously CEO of Torque Systems, a systems integrator for the graphic arts. SeeFile has received broad industry recognition from reviews in Studio Photography and Design and Seybold Reports.
