Congrats to the Photoshop User Award Winners
I wanted to extend my congratulations to the 2007 winners of the Photoshop User Awards, the worldwide Photoshop competition (produced by the National Assn. of Photoshop Professionals).
We’re sending this year’s Best of Show winner (and a companion) to Maui, Hawaii (including roundtrip airfare, hotel, transfers, and daily expenses) for inspiration in creating the cover image for an upcoming issue of Photoshop User magazine. And this year’s Grand Prize winner is…
Gregory Carter, of Santa Ana, California for his winning entry, “Take the Field”
The winner in each category receives a prize package, valued at over $2,500 from competition sponsors: B&H Photo, Imagenomics, Peachpit Press, Kelby Training, Layers magazine, and of course NAPP. And, the winning image in each category will appear in a special issue of Photoshop User magazine.
Here’s a list of this year’s category Winners (you can see the Best of Show, and the category winner’s artwork here):

My congratulations to all this year’s winner. I wonder where we’ll send the 2008 winners? Hmmmmm. So far we’ve sent them to Paris, Rome, and Maui, Hawaii. Hey, it’s a big world out there, right? 
Scott,
Thank you for the illuminating piece you did on ‘net news. As I read it, I kept thinking to myself, “I listen to CNN on my XM radio all day at the office and I don’t recall the news being nearly this disturbing.” Reading further, your analysis of the differences between CNN and the “Faux News Channel” made sense of it all for me.
I am a news junkie myself and, in addition to CNN, I listen to National Public Radio news most mornings and afternoons –online at NPR.org. I highly recommend checking their site. I’m sure you will find the many voices of NPR’s excellent journalists offer a refreshing perspective on World and National News!
