Dear Scott, I know this may be a stupid question or one that has already been answered in a previous post, but I will ask it anyway. I am new to your web site and all things Photoshop. My daughter and I both enjoy photography together and she is thinking of pursuing it as a career. We would like to learn Photoshop and Lightroom but are not sure as to the best ways to get started to learn them, either through your seminars or your online training. We would need to start at the beginning. Do your seminars address things for people just getting started in digital? I recently bought and read The digital photography book vol. 1 & 2 and thoroughly enjoyed them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
John

Dear Scott,
On page 21 of The iPhone Book I was directed to your web site
(www.scottkelby.com/iphonegear) where I could learn about your favorite accessories for the iPhone.
I love the web site and will pursue the treasures related to Photoshop but, for the life of me, I can’t find anything related to accessories for the iPhone.
Help.
Thank you,
Ralph

To Paulo:
I write each and every post myself.

Same thing with my books. If it’s just my name on the cover, I wrote every page of it myself (I don’t use any ghost writers or un-named authors). The only exception is when I have a co-author, and in that case we split the book 50/50 (so, if the book has 10 chapter, I do five chapters and the co-author does five).

I did have one book years ago, where I had another writer do a chapter on a topic I wasn’t that familiar with, but I gave that chapter author full contributing author status in the book, and included their photos and bio in the book as well.

Thanks for asking.

-Scott

Hi Scott,
I am a Wedding Photographer in Miami Fort Lauderdale area. ( www.paulopics.com )
Few days ago I was in a meeting with other photographers, and I was telling them how much I like your posts and wondering how you find time to write a post every single day…
How many people write the posts for you and how many of the posts you write yourself?
Thanks
Paulo Jordao

Sorry I don’tnow where else to ask this question.

Will your new Lightroom book be a rewrite of your first book,
or could one purchase both without fear to too much repetition?

Thanks.

Thanks for the plug! I’ll make sure Tana, David and Gabe find even better corned beef for your next visit.

I’m waiting for you to publish Combining Two Passions : Scott Kelby’s Guide to Food Photography. Make sure to include a chapter on shooting wine…

I was taken here when I was in New York recently for a concert shoot.
Best sandwich ever.

Hi Scott,
Katz’s Corned Beef Reuben is great but their “melt in your mouth” Pastrami is greater than great! Corned Beef Reuben comes far far second! Well, next time perhaps. Great class! I enjoyed it!

Hello Scott,
I am new fan. :)! I am a digital filmmaker and have been involved in a few small projects for which I have had to purchase stock stills. I have always loved photography and dabbled in it years ago when we were still in dark rooms..so I decided to build my own stock photos.. Purchased a canon rebel XTI, and went hunting for a book and found yours. I HAVE READ THAT BOOK IN AN OUT.(VOL.2)..I have pages marked highlighted.done some of the suggested shoots, portrait “clam” tech. Your book is so friendly…so..i ventured to B&H book in hand to purchase one of the light meters and I saw that you were a guest speaker!! Wow. I missed that!!! hope to catch u again when ur in town. Thank You for your book. IT IS EXCELLENT!

Well Scott,

When you posted a blog of “food”

In my last blog- On food photography

“Not here in my kitchen. One of my heroes in the Photoshop world is Scott Kelby. He recently did a blog on food photography and his favorite places to eat. Well Scott, you have not talked to Bob Hale, PhD, friend, and food officiates for Harley Riders. Come to Kentucky and eat the famous “Ken’s Camper Breakfast”.

Scott, if and when you get to Kentucky, you have not eaten till you have my world famous “Ken’s campers breakfast”.

http://kblawson.wordpress.com/

So my offer is, breakfast is free (maybe) but you will love it. Thought we in Kentucky think of gravy as a beverage, and yes David Ziser z (I took his wonderful class) lives in Kentucky (northern), of course a true Kentuckian thinks that Northern Kentucky is an outpost of Ohio, but you will love the bluegrass and our horses. By the way, so a shoot at Keeneland http://ww2.keeneland.com/, the most beautiful racetrack in the USA.
