The Professional Photographers of Hawaii (PPH) is hosting Fashion Shootout to help photographers gain skills and experience working with beautiful models. The event, scheduled for Saturday, September 6 at the McCoy Pavilion in the Ala Moana Beach Park will be on from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM.
Photographers with the best images will win prizes and recognition. PPH has arranged to have six aspiring models for the day who will benefit from the prints they will receive for use in their personal portfolios.
Registration and a $60 fee will be required. Contact chairman, Patrick Delos Santos, for information and to register, at 808-230-0430.
The Professional Photographers of Hawaii and HMAUS partner each year to host the spring Mac-ahiki and the fall Mactoberfest. More information about PPH here.

Originally published at Misc Apple Musings
Like many people, I find Tim’s podcast to be quite helpful. Finding useful software is always great, but finding the time to discover titles is another story. The Mac ReviewCast has been going strong for a few years. Combining his own notices of software updates with input from a cast of regulars, the podcast is a weekly update for the shareware/freeware fans who use a Mac.
Q: Thanks for taking time to answer a few questions. Why undertake the burden of a podcast? Did the podcast grow out of your desire (or is it addiction) to get the next great app?
The next Web Weavers Workshop will feature iPhone expert, Rich Warren.
He will talk about what it can do, why it’s an important new platform, and tricks and tips you can use for getting the most out of it.
Later in the evening, Rich will talk about creating iPhone content … touching on everything from podcasts and iPhone compatible web-pages to iPhone-specific web applications and actual native applications. He will explore the reasons why you or your business will want to start making content for the iPhone, and which type of content best meets your needs.
Meeting information here.

A Guide to Supporting and Troubleshooting Mac OS X 10.5
Reviewer: Greg Sharp, President of the Sydney Mac Users Group and Australian Mac Users Group
Author: Kevin M. White
Publisher: Peachpit Press
Series: Apple Training Series

There are many books out there promising to teach you the ins and outs of running Mac OS X 10.5, but very few do it as well as “Mac OS X Support Essentials.” It is no wonder that Apple has adopted this book as the official textbook for those wishing to become an “Apple Certified Support Professional.”

Directly accessing the Downloads folder
Reader Charles Bilkin is unsatisfied with a Safari feature, he writes:
When I used Safari running under Tiger, my downloads would go to the Desktop. Now that I’m using Leopard, they go into the Downloads folder. I know that my Desktop is cleaner now, but I don’t like having to open my Downloads folder whenever I want to get a file I’ve downloaded. Is there some way to turn this off?
