Brian grew up in Lindenhurst, New York and had his first photography exhibit at the Lindenhurst Library. During his High School years, his father worked for the airlines, so he traveled the world taking pictures. He displayed them at the library and was hooked on photography ever since.

R.S.V.P. by Sunday, May 13th.

Last year’s PPSNYS President, Monroe Payne will be speaking about creativity and play within Photoshop and Lightroom using a variety of plug-ins:

I’ll introduce you to playing with photos using Lightroom, Photoshop, a variety of plugins and hopefully you will discover for yourself the magic of creating just for yourself.

Who knows, you might add a whole new product line to your business!

Maybe I can help you there as well… My goal is to plant the seed of “play” within you.

How you wish to grow from that seed – that’s your choice.

composition to create an image that reflects a specific mood and meaning. I love creating new and different images that I hope will be enjoyed for generations.
