Layout Tool Disguised as Aperture's Book Making Function
Aperture 2.1 includes a more versatile book-making tool than we saw
in earlier versions. So powerful in fact, that calling it a book making tool is really selling it short. It's actually a flexible
layout application with some very useful output options. In this
podcast, Derrick Story talks with Joe Schorr and tries to uncover all
the hidden gems buried in Aperture 2.1. Read Layout Tool Disguised as Aperture's Book Making Function.

In June, Steve Simon and Ben Long taught a two-week photography class to students at the Oklahoma Summer Arts Institute. OSAI is a two week arts camp for 14 to 18-year-old Oklahoma students. Held in the beautiful Quartz Mountain State Park in southwestern Oklahoma, the program offers photography, writing, ballet, modern dance, orchestra, acting, film and video, and chorus. The camp is unique both for the faculty it attracts and for the cross-disciplinary experience that the students get.

As a teacher, one of the most startling things Ben learned about OSAI was the caliber of the students: their dedication and focus was impressive, as was the quality of their work. The students must work hard to get into the program, and once there, they make the most of it. What also impressed Ben this year was how much easier it is to teach and manage a lab using Aperture.
In this podcast, Ben Long talks about teaching photography and the role Aperture played while he worked with teens in Oklahoma.
