A very cool thanks and High Five to Nikon – They are now a sponsor of Scott Kelby’s Worldwide Photo Walk – and they jumped in in a very very big way. Nikon added their D700 camera, and a AF-S VR Zoom-NIKKOR 24-120mm f/3.5-5.6G. If you think THAT’s something, you should see the OTHER prizes the Grand Prize Winner is slated to get:

A B&H $500 Gift Card
A Gitzo GT1550T Tripod By Bogen Imaging

Layers Magazine Makes the Top 15
The Inkd blog ranked their top 15 magazine for Print designers and I was very excited to see that our own Layers Magazine made the list. According to Inkd:
“Anything and everything you want to know about Adobe creative products. This is the go-to for early tips around all the new Adobe software.”
I’d love to extend a congratulations to Chris Main our editor, and the incredible team of writers, production, and editorial staff that work to put out the best darn magazine out there. I’m proud to be a part of it.

Insider Software Release FontAgent Pro Plus
Now, admittedly, i’m a bit of an addict when it comes to Fonts. You can never really find enough of them (i’m not alone here.. in the office you should see people perusing the web in search of the cool fonts). How cool is it that Insider Software has released FontAgent Pro Plus. They took FontAgent Pro, and added to it 150 book fonts, 400 creative fonts, 150 book 80 Script Fonts, 25 monowidth fonts.. 750 fonts in all for 149.95. Sounds to me like a deal!

Slideshow Pro gets a Bunch of Updates
Seems like the folks over at SlideshowPro have been very busy with some updates to their software – and definitely worth checking out. In addition to updating their Director and Thumbgrid software, they have added Pan and Zoom (kinda like the Ken Burns effect on Imovie.. and .. well.. Ken Burns presentation stuff) to Slideshow Pro. If you own a copy, or are thinking about it, make sure you head over to the Slideshow Pro website to see whats new.
That’s a lot of stuff for Friday. That should keep you all very very busy. Well.. at least busy enough until Monday, where i’ll announce the next contest.. and bring you some great stuff. Have a great weekend!
