Adobe Spark Page – Death Valley

After yesterday’s announcement of Adobe Spark Page (formally Adobe Slate), I decided that it was time to have some fun and post some images from a recent trip to Death Valley. I really appreciate how easy the team has made it to add photos and text (and even video) to a beautifully designed theme (template). It certainly makes it easy to share with others. Click here (or in the image below) to view the completed story.  Enjoy!

Quiet Moments —2015 Year in Review

I’ve created a slideshow as a simple way to look back at my year through the images that I’ve posted using Lightroom mobile to my Instagram account. I find this yearly exercise yields interesting insights about where I am in my life and allows me to reflect upon the places that I’ve gone and the experiences that I’ve had. I would strongly encourage you to create a collection of your own images for the year to see the path that you followed in 2015.

For those of you who haven’t been introduced to Adobe Spark Page, I have to tell you that I absolutely love this simple storytelling app from Adobe. In the past, Spark Page creations were limited to the iPad, but I’m so happy to announce that it is now available on the web. This means that you can create and tell your story with Spark Page from your desktop!
