Last week I returned from a short one week trip to Seattle, Washington, USA. Between the 8th and 10th August the first istockphoto Diamondlypse took place in Seattle. The list of diamond contributers attending this istockalypse was really a kind of 'who is who' of the istockphoto community. I was pleased to have the opportunity to be a part of this 'diamond-contributer-only' istock event.

Here you find some images within my newest uploads in my istockphoto portfolio

Jumping for Joy:



To have a collection of all the photos taken at this Diamond'lypse event I established an iStockphoto Lightbox where all participants of the Diamond'lypse in Seattle can add their images. You find this Diamond'Lypse lightbox here:

Diamond'lypse Seattle 2008 Lightbox iStockphoto

As of today I didn`t find time to process a lot my images from seattle. I`ve still to process a lot of images from the last weeks and months before the seattle event. So, a lot more from the Diamondlypse Seattle will come up into istockphoto by mid-september. Anyway as a kind of preview, here are images I processed recently and the first bunch from the Diamondlypse in Seattle.

It' now close six months ago since the last update of Sold & Found on my photoblog.

I got again emails and sitemails (in istockphoto) that people found some of my images in use. So again: thanks for letting me know. And thanks to all people sending me prints, copies etc.

Episode IV Mlenny Porfolio in Action Summer 2008:

So here are the new sold & found images from my istock portfolio:

I really was surprised when Adobe announced the public beta of lightroom 2.0. As I work a lot with the combination adobe photoshop cs 3 & lightroom 1.41 i'd liked to try out this beta version.. so I went to the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 Learning Center. And what ??? I first thought I have a cache problem in my browser when I discovered 4 Images it made on the homepage of the Adobe Photoshop Learning Center Lightroom 2.0... but it was true. Out of a total of five images their designers choosed four images from my istockphoto portfolio. wow. You can see the screenshot above. Just click on the thumbs if you like to enlarge them. Below are the original images from my portfolio.

Meanwhile Adobe Lightroom 2.0 is released. And even after the release (and redesign/update of the learning center content) there is still one image left one I image from my trip to the Sahara Desert. It`s really funny be surprised by such discoveries.

Transcend, the well-known Memory Card Manufacturer from Taipei, used an image of a couple as a flyer/folder whitch was included in their new 16 GB CF card. Thanks Thomas (!) for sending me the Transcend 16 GB brochure and package! But why didn`t you leave the 16GB in the letter?

Börse Online is a well-known weekly Economy/Stock magazin in Germany. In an article about Wind Power Companies & Alternative Energy Investments they used one of my wind turbine images.

A shot from the hey jo club, london was used in a party - event community.

A portrait of two young women from barcelona made it onto this advertising banner in usa. Thanks for mailing me this image!

This fairy-tale portrait was used as the cover image of the american Afra Victoria Magazin on their June/July 2008 Issue.

Lightroomkillertips, the lightroom tips & tricks blog from Matt Kloskowski, used my 'endless road' shot from nambia. Check out his blog it`s worth reading!

One shot from Namibia was used by Yahoo Travel. This time not an endless road. The shot (above , right) of the Skeleton Coast in West Namibia was taken out of a cessna airplane.

The Indian Chief Portrait, which was shot in Austin, Texas - made it onto the Cover of the Western Group Tour Magazine in the Spring 2008 Issue.

I discovered another CD Cover from the shooting session i had in the Hey Jo Club in London, UK. It was used for the CD Sampler Electronic House Sessions Volume 2.

This Fashion shot (on the right) was used on the website of 'Les Cours Mont-Royal'. The famous Montreal Fashion Boutique Shopping Center in Canada.

Strobbe is a belgian distributer of office accessoires. I shot the image of a young woman running along a moving stairway in the barcelone airport. It's used on their website and also as the cover of their Strobbe Order Catalog 2008/2009.

KSL.com, Utah's News and Information Plattform used one of my images of a screaming business man (original on the right) as an online banner to promote their Online Education Center.

The image on the right was shot in Ljubljana. The Group Shot of those women was used from the company X4 Tech. I found it included in their products X4-Tech Zelo T10 on Amazon.de.

One of my car details was used as the cover for the traditional Mayer Brown Event at INTA 2008 Invitation Cards. The Mayer Brown LLC (Intellectual Property Group) event took place in the 'Meilenwerk Berlin'.

I guess I`m one of the last photographers who discovered Flickr. It`s really a nice place to have a central photo server, and the possibilities of Flickr are simply amazing.

You can see them here: Mlenny Flickr Slide Show or here (a more animated version): Mlenny Porfolio Slideshow.
