| Editors Letter
by Jim Caldwell
Hello Members and
curious visitors,
Your humble
editor here with a roundup of this issue. There seems to be a major
travel slant this time around with contributions by some serious
globe-hoppers from our ranks. Check out the Salvo saga, Chris and
Suzanne’s adventures off (way off!) the beaten track. I get turista
just thinking about some of those locales...
This issue
marks some new and (I hope) popular changes. First,
thanks to Mike Hart for his “On the Road” series which we’re starting
this issue. Seven weeks on the road -- whew! Good paycheck I’ll bet,
but dang.... almost sounds like a job. But Mike still had the energy
and creativity to say something interesting at every stop. In fact,
he had so much to say that we’re splitting the series in two with the
last set of articles in the next issue of the WebLetter. So you’ll
just have to wait for the plot (or the ale) to thicken -- so maybe
“cliffhanger” would be too strong a word...
Joe Robbins has stepped up with his years of teaching Photoshop to
add a short Photoshop Tips article, we hope the beginning of a long
series, cutting through the knotty complexity of this mainstay program
we all use. Comments, questions, additions are welcome, of course.
Thanks, Joe!
Lastly, a permanent new feature of the WebLetter is the “Useful Links”
section, an expanding collection of URLs contributed by the members
for the members, to save us all the hassle of finding those scraps
of paper we all have floating around with amazing links, or the panic
after the bookmark file evaporates into the mist. This is the most
interactive of all these, so be a contributor -- e-mail me that interesting
link, with a short description, if possible.
Until
the Winter Solstice issue...
Jim
P.S.
A
recipe book featuring my photos entitled “Culinary Capital” just
came out from Bright Sky Publishing, sponsored by the Greater Houston
Restaurant Association -- 75 great recipes from 75 top restaurants
right here in the Bayou City.
Check
out the photo in the Table of Contents. Even if you don’t cook, it’s
got some new ideas for restaurants on Saturday night. Or like this
pathetic chef, you can screw it up and then remind yourself of how
it’s supposed to taste. You can get copies from the GHRA, restaurants
and bookstores all over town. They make great gifts and I can get
‘em for you at a discount (Hint, hint...).
I may yet finish an article about the book-publishing process, which
was quite an eye-opener for me. Interested?
