\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Photoshop World has been amazing! \u00a0It always is, but tonight it got a lot more amazing for me! \u00a0 Tonight was a two hour panel of some of the very heavy hitters at the event, each doing 15 minutes of their work, with some commentary. \u00a0It was all good, with such heavy hitters as, Joe McNally, Jay Maisel, Vincent Versace, Julianne Kost, Jeremy Cowart, Joe Glyda, Moose Peterson, Dave Black and Jim Divitale it was one amazing team! \u00a0The work was all over the board, from inspiring, to informative, to extremely touching. \u00a0McNally and Maisel reminded us of just how good they are, Joe Glyda kept us in stitches, Moose shared some lovely landscape images, and Dave Black made us want, more than ever, to be truly good shooters! Julianne Kost and Jim Divitale reminded us of just how talented and artistic they are, and Vincent Versace reminded us of the needs of this world, with haunting images from Burma. \u00a0 But Jeremy Cowart, at least for me, stole the show.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jeremy is one of the most talented portrait photographers of the entertainment world. \u00a0He has used his talent to affect a number of very important and successful projects that have helped millions around the world. \u00a0His program tonight was very different for him, and I was very blessed by it! \u00a0He told his own story about being a kid that couldn’t concentrate, was not a good student or an outstanding athlete and in fact spent much of his youth telling himself he wasn’t one of the smart people, that he couldn’t do the things he wanted to do! \u00a0His father and mother started telling him, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me\u2026” \u00a0Over time he began to understand and beleive those critical words and in fact his life and career all turned around. \u00a0He has used his new found faith to build a career and life that is, in turn, blessing many others. \u00a0He ended his program by restating; “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me\u2026.and you can too.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Even more of a blessing was the extended standing ovation he received. \u00a0Now I know at least two men stood before the crowds at PSW and proclaimed Christ. \u00a0It was a blessing indeed! \u00a0This is the way it should be. \u00a0Thanks Jeremy for your boldness for Him, He is truly worthy!<\/p>\n

Blessings<\/p>\n
