Presentation Information.

Firstly, let me thank everyone at the North County Photographic Society for inviting me to speak at their monthly meeting. It was a lot of fun and it was great to meet other people who share the same "habit" as me.

I had a lot of people ask me about the software and music I used for the presentation. Below is some information.
A lot of the music was downloaded from iTunes (www.apple.com/itunes)

Music

Portfolio Title Artist Album
La vie en rose Edith Piaf The Voice of the Sparrow
San Francisco Blues Lowell Fulson My First Recordings
Rooming House on Venice Beach Jonathan Richman I, Jonathan
London Calling The Clash The Clash: The Singles
Parklife Blur Parklife

Technical information

All the photographs were edited and compiled in Photoshop CS2. They were then brought into Powerpoint and text & music were added. The remote control I used was a Keyspan Express Remote which is useful for so much more than presentations.

Software

As already mentioned, most of my work is edited using Photoshop CS2 and a set of filters by AutoFX called Mystic Tint Tone Color (Available for Mac and Windows)

If you have any other question please feel free to contact me via e-mail at paul@sewellstudio.com and I will try and answer them.

Further Reading

Most of my research was gathered from the web and from a book on street photography called "Bystander, A history of street photography" by Colin Westerbeck and Joel Meyerowitz. The book by David Bradford (New York cab driver/photographer) is called "Drive by Shooting"

I mentioned a Photojournalist called Dan Eldon who was killed in Mogadishu. I've listed two books about him. The first is a book of his journals and the second is a biography. To find out more about Dan goto: www.daneldon.org.
