The Apple Store in SoHo offers a series of workshops on Digital Photography each week. Check the schedule if you're interested in going to the iPhoto Workshop, Adobe Photoshop Elements Pro Workshop, Adobe Photoshop CS Pro Workshop, etc.

Also, on July 12 the store will host a presentation on how to use iView MediaPro to help import, organize, edit, publish and archive digital media files (details in right sidebar of schedule page).

There is a new multimedia feature by Magnum again. This time it's Bruce Gilden with a selection of 20 images of Coney Island commented by the photographer.

The new feature is not as extensive as the last one simply because of its topic (the last one was divided into different chapters after country) but for sure well worth checking it out. I find Bruce Gildens photographs great and his comments are very interesting and amusing.

You can read more about that in my original post over here. I hope you like it and feel free to leave any suggestions or wishes as a comment on this site.

You're cruising along, jamming to Rose Royce. Top down. Just picked up a delicious summer treat from L & B on your way in to the city from Coney for a free summer concert. You're feeling really good.

There are two big events this weekend that should not be missed. First, on Saturday, June 25th, there is the 23rd annual Mermaid Parade in Coney Island, Brooklyn. For those who have never heard of the Mermaid Parade, the following is a brief explanation from coneyisland.com:

Founded in 1983 by Coney Island USA, the not-for-profit arts organization that also produces the Coney island Circus Sideshow, the Mermaid Parade pays homage to Coney Island's forgotten Mardi Gras which lasted from 1903 to 1954, and draws from a host of other sources resulting in a wonderful and wacky event that is unique to Coney Island.

The parade begins at 2pm, rain or shine! For the parade route and more information, please visit Coney Island's Mermaid Parade website.

The second big event is the 36th Annual Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender PRIDE March to be held this coming Sunday, June 26th.

The PRIDE March is one of the longest in the city, starting at 5th Avenue and 52nd Street and ending at Christopher and Greenwich Streets. The march begins at 12:00pm, capping off NYC's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, & Transgender Pride Week 2005 which runs from June 19th - June 26th.

The march is just one of the many events scheduled for this year's NYC's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, & Transgender Pride Week. For more information, please visit the Heritage of Pride website.
