I started as an assembly language programmer (which I love best) but then got sidetracked into network infrastructure, muxes and routers and the like, and then found photography.
That’s funny because I started out programming a network terminal in assembler.
The thing I like about graphics
is that, unlike with access equipment where when I would configure a firewall the client would be grateful but they could not really see what I had done, now I can just bring someone to my monitor and show them.
Not only that, but your parents can finally understand what you do too 🙂
I know what I would really really REALLY like to do and that is 3D. I would like to be able to place cameras and lights around it a virtual room and make things come to life. This would be full circle for me since graphics demos was what I was doing when I started in assembler – AfterDark was my favorite program for years.
The flying toaster people? They were located a few blocks from me in Berkeley. LOL.
The think about video is that it is just so darned expensive – out of my league in this lifetime.
The probelm I had was I would spend a couple of days making the videos, music tracks, titles, cuts, etc, then no one would want to watch them.
, and writing tools for photographers..
I have looked at your Curvemeister product but to be honest I just don’t grok curves. I play around with them quite bit but it’s just seat-of-the-pants until things look the way I want them. I wanted to participate in your recent online class offering but because I have a dial-up connection figured it would be disruptive. Besides I have not short-term prospects of being able to purchase the tool so I thought it would be uncool.
Not uncool at all. The more the merrier. Many people take the class using the demo, and the concepts carry over into regular Photoshop.
Cheers, and have a good holiday.
