Huh?!?!?

If you're not a classic television junkie, the "Kung Fu" grasshopper reference is probably meaningless. However, it is meaningful to me as it relates to the pursuit of understanding Adobe Photoshop. It appears to be a lifelong journey to explore what's possible and to pursue a mastery of the program.

Before I took on the retouching duties for our studio, The Grays Professional Photography and Digital Art (http://www.wessgray.com) two years ago, I was intimidated to say the least. But the studio had gone completely digital, and it was time to put fear aside and dive in. Fortunately, there are some really good instructional resources out there, and within a few months, I was retouching all the images that Wess was creating.

It's certainly been a challenge and have learned more in the last two years than I could have imagined. What's really amazing to me is that it's possible to take a whole new direction after age 50, so we should always leave ourselves open to learn new things and tackle new challenges.
