Pilgrimage to Mecca

Ok… So maybe not “the” Mecca in the middle-east but certainly a central point of importance to most photographers and certainly to Photoshop Junkies. I did a checkride today from Greensboro NC to Brooksville FL. When I got to Brooksville, I had to get a car and drive to Tampa and get to the hotel which is the bonus post today.


Anyhow with a car and nothing really to do, I headed off to visit the Kelby Training Group. Better known as the home of the national Association of Photoshop Professionals or NAPP for short. It is about a twenty minute drive from the Tampa airport.





As I pulled into KTG’s parking lot I spied a spot by the building to park. As I turned into the spot the sign below presented itself.





I thought better of it and parked across the way in a Visitor spot.


I stepped in the building and was greeted by a nice gal by the name of Debbie. We talked a little and she offered a tour of the facility and I gladly accepted. There are three facilities in the local and I was at the main Administrative building which housed both the creative and editorial groups. I felt as though I was in the center of the CS brain trust.


Well it was fun to even stop by and say hi. Not that it was on my bucket list or anything like that.


Take care… Doug


P.S. I don't know what I was thinking as I did not bring my G9 with me to the NAPP headquarters so I was stuck with my piece of junk camera on my Blackberry. That is a yuck and Im sorry for the poor quality.
