Simon Abrams was smitten with computers ever since the day his
dad gave him his first Commodore 64 back in the late '80s. It wasn't
until he took a class called Intro to Microcomputer Graphics in
college that he discovered that the intersection of computers and art
was where his true love was to be found. He later attended the
Savannah College of Art & Design, where he studied 3D Modeling and
Animation. Upon graduating with a BFA in Computer Art, Simon moved to
New York City. After a brief stint at Tekserve (New York's premier Mac
repair shop), he got a job working as a designer at an interactive
advertising agency during the heady dot-com boom of the late '90s.
Along the way, he discovered his second love: photography, which he
pursues vigorously as a serious amateur around the streets and subways
of New York. His photography has been featured on various sites,
including Yahoo! News, Gothamist, and Panasonic's Digital Photo
Academy. Simon is an Adobe Certified Photoshop Professional and
regularly appears as a guest lecturer teaching Photoshop at New York
University's Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences. He has also
led workshops in the theater at Apple's flagship retail location in
SoHo, New York. Simon currently lives in Brooklyn, with his wife
Stephanie. He recently became a student of karate and works as a Flash
developer at an advertising agency in New York City.
Dan Moughamian began exploring Adobe Photoshop in 1993 and
never looked back. His passion for digital imaging ultimately led to a
career in fine art photography, which continues to present day and has
evolved to encompass not only still photography, but video and motion
graphics as well. Dan is an accomplished instructor, teaching digital
photography and Photoshop classes for Chicago-based venues such as Mac
Specialist. Dan is also an Adobe trainer for designProVideo. com,
authoring titles such as Photoshop CS4: Digital Photography
Workflows. Dan lives outside of Chicago with his wife Kathy.
