NEWS FLASH! Back on the street...

HEY HEY HEY!

As of May 1, I'm officially resuming my "self-employed" status, after a 10-year hiatus!

...quittin the day job, finished the last of the four Pipeline books (Black and White Pipeline, looks AWESOME- thanks to Kara and Ginger) out on the streets again, but this time as a freelance writer (Contributing Editor, H2Hreviews.com, launching soon), teacher and consultant.

It's been ten years, almost to the month, since I made the decision to close my studio and start work in the digital photography arena as an Imaging Specialist at Calumet in Cambridge. I then moved to EP Levine where I founded the Pixel Institute and started on the very first incarnation of the RAW Pipleline, (Digital Photography Masterclass, printed on a laser printer and stapled together), then to Tech Superpowers, where I founded and managed the Tech Superpowers Professional Imaging Services- providing workflow training and consulting for clients like Lane Bryant, Ross Simons, a host of photographers and agencies.

Looking back, four books later, and watching the maturation of a completely revolutionary set of tools, it's been an incredible journey at arguably one of the most important points in the history of photography. I'm amazed at how many wonderful and talented people I've had the chance to work with- co-workers, associates, peers, students, and clients.

I'll be continuing a lot of the work I've been doing... consulting, training, writing, and even a photography shoot here and there- there is simply nothing like actually working with a piece of equipment when a client is hanging over you to get a real perspective on how it performs. I'll be switching a lot of the tech posts over to the h2hreviews.com "Pro Digital Blog", and as soon as it's up, I'll be linking to that here.

In addition to all that, I'm going on the road, literally, to talk, teach, speak, and evangelize RAW workflow in general, and Smart Objects specifically... If you're interested, email me at ted@teddillard.com to set up a date.

...there's lots more to come! There's a crap-ton of work to do, and I'll be updating the site as time permits. Wish me luck, and see you soon!

...and this vid of Willie seems just perfect:
