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)

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.
