February 21, 2004 Newsletter

My workflow was interrupted this week when I was alerted to the first real abuse by anyone on the Artistic Newtork. I'm leaving out the details so that email filters don't delete this newsletter from inboxes. Information on the abuse and upgrades to stop it are at www.shawnolson.net/a/577/.

I still haven't gotten a chance to do anything spectacular with my new copy of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 12 other than the eagle painting... which I only spent an hour playing with. What I can say so far is that it's an awesome tool for artists, designers and digital photographers; I look forward to making some great work with it.

Taking a break from programming, I packed up a couple kids and headed to the zoo. I had a blast shooting with my newly acquired Canon 10D. There's really nothing bad you can say about this fine piece of equipment. Image quality, options and speed are unbelievable. I recommend it to anyone who is serious about photography.

As always... have a great week.
