Michael's news for the year 2009

Commenced building my new computer which will have the fastest Intel I-7 processor, 12 GB of memory and a Nvidia Quadro CX GPU.  Should be fast enough for my Photoshop processing of digital art!

Carrying on with my digital art and preparing 120 full colour plates for the next book.

Unfortunately the printers here in Cyprus cannot seem to match my requirements for resolution and colour.   Decided to order a suitable printer from the UK and print the Computer Based Art book myself, then have it professionally bound.

Took a trip to Dubai, marvellous photo opportunities in the desert.

The computer I have build is performing well in 64 bit mode, extemely fast graphical displays make working with the Wacom tablet a dream.

Upgraded my photographic equipment to Nikon D3x full frame @ 24Mpix, I feel that this is a must for high quality HDR photography.
