Interview with Tom Hogarty, product manager for Lightroom

As we had announced before, in this episode we had the pleasure of having with us Tom Hogarty, product manager for Lightroom. The conversation was good and we had the opportunity to take a closer look at one of the favorite applications for photographers. There is so much "behind the scenes" going on with this software, and so much that we could have talked about, that we could have gone for a much longer time but time, as always, is limited.

Of course, we would like to thank Tom for his availability to join the show and all our listeners who have sent questions for Tom. If we forgot some, we’re sorry, but I believe we covered everything you sent our way.

For now, on with the show…

And a new giveaway – Copy of Lightroom 2

Adobe was gracious enough to provide us with a copy of Lightroom 2 to giveaway on the show to one of our listeners. If you still haven’t tried the software this is a great opportunity, not to mention the $299 value.

Deadline:  December 17th, 2008 – 2pm PST

How to participate: For this giveaway we came up with two different ways for you to participate.

1. You can write a few lines on your blog about your workflow and how Lightroom changed/would change it. Link to this post so we can track it. This will count as 2 entries for the random drawing.

2. Don’t have a blog? No problem. Just leave us a comment on this post answering the same question. This will count as 1 entry for the draw.

Easy for the value, no? In either case, make sure that we have a way to contact you afterwards (use a valid email address).

If you don’t win but still want to try the software to see if it’s right for you, don’t forget that you can download a 30-day trial version of Lightroom.

If you’ve been following PhotoNetCast you know that one application that we usually recommend is Lightroom.

Now we have the opportunity to find out more about this fantastic piece of software from Adobe: Tom Hogarty, product manager for Lightroom, will be joining us on one of the next episodes of PhotoNetCast.

And we know that we are not the only ones curious to know more about LR. So, if you have any questions regarding the product, please feel free to send them our way we’ll try to get Tom answering them on the show.

As always,  you can use the comments section, our contact form, the voice messaging widget or even record your questions as mp3 and send them to photonetcast (at)photonetcast (dot) com. But be fast, the recording will probably happen in the middle of the next week.

Next guest on PhotoNetCast: Zoriah

For those not familiar with the name, Zoriah is an award-winning photojournalist specialized in documenting human crisis in developing countries and has dedicated most of his recent time to document the war in Iraq.

For some time now we have been discussing the possibility of bringing Zoriah on the show (basically since Brian noted a New Your Times piece on him, back in our episode 9). We didn’t want to mention anything in our last episode simply because nothing was set yet, but now, although everything could change at the last minute due to Zoriah’s location and work, it seems that things are looking bright and we managed to "grab" a slot of his time.

For those not familiar with the name, Zoriah is an award-winning photojournalist specialized in documenting human crisis in developing countries and has dedicated most of his recent time to document the war in Iraq.

I won’t go much into his background or current projects (I’m sure we’ll go into it on the show) but if you’re interested in knowing a bit more about this fantastic photographer and his work, go to his web site at Zoriah.com or read Brian’s post about Zoriah. The article that Brian mentioned in PhotoNetCast #9 is also worth a read.

We are not going to stream live the recording of the show, so there is no possibility for  you to interact with our guest while we record. But, if you have any questions about him or his work that you’d like him to answer, we would appreciate if you could drop them in the comments section, use our voice mail widget or just email them to us using our contact form. It would be great to have as many questions from our listeners as possible to further improve what I’m sure will be a great conversation. The show is scheduled to be recorded during the next weekend, so that gives you still a few days.

Looking forward to read what you have to say…
