During my regular checks and trackback analysis I have found a german article at Blogwatch reporting about my XoverIP photoblog. Peter Roskothen writes about my style and the variety of my portfolio, mentioning that he most likes my b&w and sepia toned stil-life shots. His notice about my nude photography style as being sensual but never shameless, hit the mark.

Well, I’m always a bit flattered when I find such articles. In this case in a very particular manner, because Peter revealed that he is as pleased as punch about every new picture I post :-) Thanks Peter!

It was and it is always a pleasure to see that my pics make people happy :-) Cheers, Vernon Trent

Have a nice sunday :)

The TIPA and BIPP Awards winner Hahnemühle FineArt announces the launch of Digital Fine Art Baryta paper for autumn 2007.
As a traditional artist’s paper the “FineArt Baryta 325″ will combine an ultra smooth surface with an original Baryta finish. The digital Baryta paper has Hahnemuhle™ unique “touch and feel” experience and is a premium replacement for traditional Baryta papers from analogue laboratories. The new paper contains barium sulphate in the coating that enhances the typical reflecting gloss, high dmax, large colour gamut and sharp image definition of a Baryta paper.

Hahnemüle will showcase first samples of “FineArt Baryta 325″, made from 100% alpha cellulose with an ultra smooth surface and a grammage of 325 gsm, at upcoming international photo shows: Sonimagphoto in Barcelona, Salon de la Photo in Paris, Imaging Expo in Shanghai and PhotoPlus International in New York.

Market launch is set for autumn 2007. YAY! :-)
