Expert? Maybe... maybe not.

Many of you know that I've been tossing an idea around in my mind for the past few months. That idea? Teaching people, primarily amateur digital photographers, how to use Adobe Photoshop. Now I know there are hundreds - if not thousands - of websites out there that people can visit to get tips & tricks... I know, because I scour a bunch of them pretty regularly. But there aren't too many opportunities for people to get focused classroom time with a certified expert in Photoshop - someone to help them really get their minds around the tools available to them in Photoshop. So, that's where I come in.

But am I an expert? Ah, not yet, says Adobe... I'll be taking the Adobe Certified Expert exam in Photoshop CS3 early in October - then I can say I'm an expert. So I've been studying for the exam and I have to tell you a little secret...

Here it is.


I don't like studying anymore than I did when I was in school.


There, I said it.

So even though I'm having flashbacks of all-nighters powered by caffeine and the foolishness of youth, I'm going to keep studying and getting ready for the ACE exam. Stay tuned for the results... and what happens next!
