A few years ago PSRI member A. Cemal Ekin developed a presentation on Printing and Paper Choices and has presented it at numerous camera clubs in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and yes, at PSRI. The program covers his printing workflow and a discussion on the selection of paper surfaces to best display the subject. At the PSRI presentation, member Leslie Jean created a video of the program to send to Red River Paper. This video is now available on his website.
A. Cemal Ekin is a prolific blogger on all things photographic, a presenter of photographic editing techniques using Photoshop and Lightroom, and a printing enthusiast. He believes that holding a print allows one to examine it more closely to appreciate the textures on the paper and in the photograph. He is also a long-time member of PSRI. Cemal has had several gallery showing of his prints, has created a number of print on-demand photo books, and has had work published in national photographic magazines and online.
While he is very knowledgeable of photographic history, photographers, digital editing, and lighting techniques, the one weakness he has is bird identification. For him, every bird photo I show him is some kind of finch
Be sure to explore his website, www.keptlight.com, there is much find within.

Ah, but the tremendous simplicity of my bird classification will one day become a standard. Fast-flying Tiny Finch, Long-necked and -legged pink finch, Green-headed swimming finch, … See! How simple! Who wants to remember Trochilidae, Phoenicopterus, or Anas platyrhynchos!
