Scott Kelby - Photoshop Czar

April 30, 2009 by Mike Wong • Comments Off

I think the White House could use one more Czar. A Photoshop Czar and Scott is the perfect candidate.

I mean Scott, come one. I know you're busy with NAPP and all, but this is the ultimate in service to your Country and you'd only have to do it for a year. In fact, you could choose a new Photoshop Czar to replace you (or subsequent Czars) at Photoshop World. In addition to the Guru awards, the audience (we're a democracy afterall) could vote on a new Photoshop Czar.

Okay, okay, it's late in the day and I'm tired and just trying to have some fun, but this is fantastic. If Scott Kelby's blog isn't part of your daily read already (which it probably is) here's a great example of why it should be.

Dear White House...

Two things about Scott's blog post.

1. I can't believe the government would spend $360,000 just to update their photo library. I mean, I understand it's expensive to get that big 747 up in the air with the miltary escort, so I can imagine that the cost might have been over $300,000. But the part I can't believe is that someone over in the White House would say, "Oh, it's going to cost $300,000+ to update the pictures? Yeah, that seems reasonable." I don't think Scott as the Photoshop Czar would have approved that one.
2. I like the shadow of the plane Scott put in on the water.
