For the past few years, the photographic community has been moving from the older, more powerful, and regrettably more confusing, Photoshop®, to the streamlined and beautifully designed Lightroom®.

Using photography to better our world is a novel thought for some but for others it’s a way of life. I often think about the possibilities of using my photography skills to help. Because of daily tasks and commitments my big ideas and good intentions usually get whittled down to occasionally volunteering my skills for [...]
Well the summer has finally arrived here in Missoula and I think that I can safely say that our Summer Intensive students are grateful to not have to interpret rain photographically any more. With summer comes one of my favorite activities… The tried and true Road Trip. I love driving without a destination. Coming across [...]

To get your copy of Lightroom ®, you could buy the product directly from Adobe, you could purchase the software from an online retailer, or you could pick up a copy at your local computer box store.
