Joseph Linaschke at SVSMUG 6/7/10

ON 6/7/2010 the members of the Silicon Valley SMUG met at Genesis Photography in Mountain View, CA. There we received an update from the leadership of SmugMug, the photo-posting site, Bayphoto, the photographic printing house in Santa Cruz, and Joseph Linaschke, telling us about being the photographer on a soul-music tour as well as how he uses Aperture 3, the Apple photo software.

Sponsors of the event include SmugMug, Bayphoto, and Genesis Photography.
