I had a number of things I wanted to bring to your attention on the blog today so here goes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

First, sad news from North Carolina, Snake Barrett lost his mother to cancer, and I would ask all of you to lift him and his family in prayer. \u00a0Snake is a truly dear brother and I know he and Carolyn are really suffering, please remember them! \u00a0Please know all of us are thinking of you Snake!<\/p>\n

You may have seen the announcement yesterday about the forming of KelbyOne the new fusion of NAPP and Kelby Training. \u00a0I for one, want to say I’m very proud to be working with \u00a0KelbyOne on the training site and activities related to Photoshop World. \u00a0If you are coming to Photoshop World in Atlanta, please come by and let’s visit! \u00a0I love meeting folks that visit the Blog face to Face!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You know you are aging when you have to invite your grandson, Cade, (11) to drop by and teach you how to use your DVR! \u00a0That was one of my retirement goals, learn how to use the blasted thing! \u00a0I’ve been wanting to tape shows when I miss them and honestly had no idea! \u00a0Of course he did, and now I’m all set up, thanks Cade!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I have a favor to ask, I get emails from time to time asking for Jim and I to run another Slide Show Production Workshop, we are thinking of doing one in March, in Corbin! \u00a0The last one was really fun, each student produced their own show and we had a graduation where everyone showed their production!!! \u00a0It was a blast!!! \u00a0One evening everyone comes over to my house and we have my special recipe, Fortney’s Famous Bar B Q! \u00a0It would be a Wednesday evening through Sunday morning class, and the fee would be $499. \u00a0If you would be interested shoot me and email! \u00a0If enough respond we will seer a date!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

From time to time you make a mistake, I know that is hard to believe, but it’s true! \u00a0Our Old Car City Event<\/span><\/strong> is a very popular and fun workshop but registrations have started very slow, we really want to do it again this year, so here is the deal, \u00a0we are going to lower the price from $799. to $599, \u00a0Yes, $200 off if you register by the end of January! \u00a0Don’t worry of you are one of those that have already registered you just saved $200. too! \u00a0Please consider joining us for what is a great Americana shoot! \u00a0Check out my KelbyOne class on photograph Antique Cars filmed at Old Car City!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Another book that is in production! \u00a0Whose Hands are at the End of My Arms, Subtitle; The Life and Times of Bill Fortney. \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/span>Through the years I’ve had a lot of requests to get some of my stories down on paper, but thanks to my friend John Gompf, this is going to be\u00a0<\/span><\/span>something\u00a0really different! \u00a0His suggestion was to record them and do an Audio book, that way, some day my grand children and great grandchildren can hear the stories in my own voice. I’m really excited\u00a0<\/span>because\u00a0I have hours of recording of my interviews with folks like; \u00a0Bear Bryant, Roger Staubach, Barbara Mandrell and\u00a0<\/span>many\u00a0others, I hope to have a few audio excepts from those interviews. \u00a0I’m truly\u00a0<\/span>excited\u00a0about this\u00a0<\/span>project, I hope to have it ready for Christmas 2014!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you were at the Photo Plus show in New York last late fall and happen to drop by the Fuji Film booth you would have see five of my images in their display! \u00a0It was great to share images with the Fujni faithful!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The image\u00a0above was stolen, no I took it, but only after I saw the same basic image made by Chuck Barnes, I begged him to take me to this location in Savannah, and he did, thanks Chuck!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Blessings,<\/p>\n
