The cover of the October 17, 2011, issue of The New Yorker:
Just a block away from my penthouse, 1BR, ok small studio apartment, it just popped up last Sunday, there in the thick of the tangled web of buildings that make up the city’s art academy (Academy of Art College.) With a big colorful sign to announce, “Photoshop & You!” Hey, how’d they move the Transamerica Building out of the financial district to Market Street? Silly, they “photoshopped” it. This is all part of a great idea on Adobe’s part to bring some of the best creative minds in digital imaging to talk and better yet, give demos of their work. What better way to Learn Ps. If you’ve seen any of Adobe’s videos online you may be familiar with some of these faces, like Bert Monroy and Russell Brown, among many others. Brown is Adobe’s creative director, punmeister and digital wizard par excellence. For two weeks, through August 6th, you can join celebrated artists, authors, and adventurers as they share their stories, inspiration, and advice. There will be photo walks through San Francisco and other all-pixel activities. And, it’s all free, with proceeds from the sale of Photoshop gear going to Adobe Youth Voices, Adobe Foundation’s global signature philanthropy program. If you are a city dweller, or happen to be here visiting, it’s recommended to stop by and see the show.
