A Slide Lecture by Robert Shechter   Travel Photographer and Speaker

When: Wednesday April 23, 2014
6:30 – 8:30 PM
$20 including refreshments during the break

After living in Toronto for over forty years, photographer Robert Shechter rediscovered the city through his camera lens. Toronto, as I see it visits the city’s historic sites which witness our beginnings and heritage, our many thriving neighbourhoods with diverse ethnicities, languages, cultures, and religions. Toronto, as I see it highlights the city’s avant-garde 21st century architecture, as well as lesser known sites, while meandering through the nature trails, parks and forests which make Toronto one of the greenest cities in the world.
Toronto as ICE SEES IT brings back memories of a recent episode in our city, with intensely beautiful diamond-studded trees shining in the sun. Toronto, as I see it reflects how we live and function in one of the
most civilized cities in the world.

Adobe has a deal running on the “Photoshop Photography Program”.

This is a subscription to Photoshop (CC, the latest version) and Lightroom 5 plus 20G of cloud storage for US$9.95 per month (but you pay for a year so that’s about US$120 per year).

Cool deal as you do not have to have a copy of an earlier release of Photoshop. So at about $120 per year for both Photoshop and Lightroom it’s a great deal if you don’t have either of them.

Go to www.adobe.com

 for details. Only till Dec 2, though so hurry.
