Digitalfest is the Intermountain
West’s
largest and most comprehensive annual trade
show featuring the best and newest digital
imaging products. Many
factory representatives will be on hand to
give you a chance to handle the latest products
and ask questions about them. A
Friday evening trade
show will be open for registered professional
photographers and
the Saturday trade show
is open to the public by ticket.
The recently announced Canon
digital video camera, the Canon
XL2 Digital Video Camera, will get its first public showing
in our area at a special program during the
Saturday session. The Canon representatives
will have this astonishing digital wizard
on hand for everyone to see.
Friday evening will
be open to everyone with a ticket, and it
will be featuring our guest presenter, the
revolutionary Nick Vedros! Nick Vedros
built his super studio in the heart of America,
in Kansas City where he was born. Vedros
is a generalist, with a great twist of humor;
his brilliant color photography immediately
drew national attention. A firm believer
in mastering photographic theory, he added
to his early reputation by taking on difficult
assignments and creating a production company
to help handle the details. He quickly
became known as a problem solver and as a
master of lighting. This quickly led
to shooting assignments for a host of clients:
Coca Cola, The Smithsonian, Sony, 3M, Compaq
Computers, Hasselblad, Purina, CompUSA, and
IBM. Capital One, Microsoft, Eastman Kodak,
Dell, Bayer, Colgate, Southwestern Bell,
Sprint, Apple Computers, and many others.
Three things most characteristic of Vedros
are: He continues to study photographic theory;
he will only use the latest equipment; and
he is ready to help any photographer with
a question or problem.
Vedros became the founding
president of the Midwest Chapter of ASMP (American
Society of Media Photographers). In
1987 Eastman Kodak selected him as one of
three American photographers to conduct state-of-the-art
presentations in their Professional Photographer
Forum. The project called Visions
in View took Vedros to the major cities
of America. Then in 1991 to 10 cities in
China, Korea, the Philippines, Malaysia,
New Zealand and Australia. In 1994 he was
one of two selected from among nationally
recognized photographers to join the Hasselblad
University faculty. More recently he
was among the American photographers invited
for the Canon USA Project, based on the theme: A
Special Way of Seeing. In 2003,
Kodak and Apple asked him to do a seven-city
fourteen lecture speaking tour, speaking
and demonstrating the new advances of the
digital world. Nick will be sponsored
by Canon at Digitalfest 2004.
