My brother Grant and his Wife Aimee has a some a few days ago. Sadly, due to a rare umbilical problem at birth he passed away.

In memory of Grant IV and to help my brother and his wife with medical expenses I’ve made a special collection. These are never before released Lightroom and Photoshop effects, as well other goodies including a new HDR training video. 100% of from this profits go to help out. It’s a good cause, and a great deal that will not stay this price. More details and video here.

I appreciate all the kind words people have been sending in. I’ve also set up a special address for condolences. For those who wish to send them they can be direct to grantseim4@gmail.com and I’ll forward them along.

dogologoby Gavin Seim: I recently joined David and Kerry over on the Camera Dojo podcast to talk about making and selling large wall portraits and canvas pieces. I’ve been chatting about this quite a lot these days because it’s become so relevant to my business. Large prints sell and they look spectacular doing it.

Head over to Dojo and check it out. I apologize for in advance my hyperactivity. It was not coffee. I’ve just been very excited about large prints. Once you make and sell a few you’ll probably understand. Also take a peek at my recent article on large prints. Be prepared however. This has been the most hotly discussed topic ever on Pro Photo Show. I’m sticking to my guns because I know from recent experience that large prints sell and make sense. That said there’s no law against disagreeing with me. Enjoy… Gav
