On October 22nd, 2009 I will be taking part in a panel discussion, Twitter Revolution: Changing the Photographic World, 140 Characters at a Time, at Photo Plus Expo with Seshu Badrinath, Taylor Davidson, Jack Hollingsworth and Rosh Sillars.

Almost 5 years ago I wrote an article on the pros and cons of using RAW versus JPEG and why I was shooting in RAW (see RAW vs JPEG: Is Shooting RAW Format For Me?).
