If you were among the 40+ attendees who saw John Paganini’s presentation “Camera to Showcase,” you know there was a lot of valuable information there. The presentation is available on our Members-Only portal. John has been good enough to provide us with a PDF copy of his presentation. He has also provided the wacky scene in Paris, created by AI using prompts from the audience. Thank you, John.
