Secaucus, NJ Popular Science Magazine has named two Panasonic products, the TC-P54Z1 Ultra-thin VIERA Plasma and the LUMIX GF1 digital camera, the magazine's 2009 'The Best of What's New' winners in the Home Entertainment and Gadgets categories, respectfully. Both Panasonic products will be featured in the December 2009 issue of Popular Science Magazine.

'For 22 years, Popular Science has honored the innovations that surprise and amaze us − those that make a positive impact on our world today and challenge our views of what's possible in the future.' said Mark Jannot, Editor-in-Chief of Popular Science. 'The Best of What's New Award is the magazine's top honor, and the 100 winners − chosen from among thousands of entrants − represent the highest level of achievement in their fields.'

The Panasonic TC-P54Z1 VIERA Plasma uses innovative wireless technology and features an ultra-thin 1' profile, making this HDTV Plasma a truly unique High Definition display. The wireless technology allows for flexible installations and the thin profile makes it easy to fit in any setting. The Panasonic TC-P54Z1 Plasma uses millimeter wave wireless technology established by the Wireless HD Consortium and has a maximum transmission rate of approximately 4Gbs, which enables full-HD uncompressed video and audio signals to be transmitted up to 30 feet from the TV.

Furthermore, the remote is RF, so the external box that houses all the electronics and connections can be placed out of sight. The TC-P54Z1 also features Panasonic's proprietary VIERA CAST™ technology that provides targeted internet content, including Amazon VOD and You Tube™. The TC-P54Z1 also includes 600Hz Sub-field drive that produces full 1080 lines of motion resolution - in prior years, Plasmas produced approximately 900 lines of motion resolution. The TC-P54Z1 is also one of a select few high definition displays to achieve THX® certification, an audio and video standard set by THX Ltd., a company founded by George Lucas to recreate the audio and video ambiance that filmmakers intended.

The Panasonic LUMIX GF1 is the world's smallest and lightest system digital camera with built-in flash* and packs powerful DSLR-like features and High Definition video capabilities into a sleek and easy-to-use compact body. The LUMIX GF1 builds on Panasonic's success with the revolutionary LUMIX G Series of digital interchangeable lens system cameras based on the Micro Four Thirds system standard. The Micro Four Thirds system boldly removes the very same mirror box that traditionally defined a 'Single Lens Reflex' camera, thus resulting in a much smaller camera body and lenses; while not compromising photo quality or performance. The LUMIX GF1 is Panasonic's most compact LUMIX G Series digital camera and offers features appropriate for both new and more advanced photographers.

For instance, the LUMIX DMC-GF1 includes the new My Color mode, which includes seven preset effects – Expressive, Retro, Pure, Elegant, Monochrome, Dynamic Art, Silhouette and Custom – all of which let users manually set the color, brightness and saturation levels. With the Live View function, users can see how these settings will affect the photo before they shoot, making it easier to capture the exact mood or atmosphere desired. For even more elaborate effects, users can choose from a total of nine Film modes, and set the contrast, sharpness and saturation levels for each. A custom function lets users store their favorite settings in memory. Furthermore, the exposure meter can be displayed in other shooting modes and the correlation between shutter speed and aperture is shown, with a color-coded warning that alerts users when the settings are not in the proper range.

'Panasonic has a longstanding history of being an innovative company that provides cutting-edge products and because of that, has been a consistent industry leader, so the Popular Science 'Best of What's New Honor' provides great validation that we are indeed leaders in two important categories for our company: High Definition Plasmas and digital cameras,' said Robert Perry, Executive Vice President, Panasonic Consumer Electronics Company. 'We are honored by the recognition and will continue to manufacture products that are not only innovative, but also benefit the consumer who will be using them.'

With Post-Newsweek Stations including KPRC (Houston); WDIV (Detroit); WPLG (Miami-Fort Lauderdale); WKMG (Orlando); KSAT (San Antonio); and WJXT (Jacksonville) working in a centralized graphics hub environment, the addition of AXIS maps was a good selection, providing news producers with the ability to create localized graphics utilizing templates at their desktop.

Design Hub Director Felicia Steiger said, 'The online aspect of AXIS is very appealing because there is no additional equipment to purchase or install. AXIS maps allows for map customization; banner design; and road and land colors, all of which can be stylized to match clients' on-air graphic package.

'The core benefit is placing control directly into the hands of the person telling the story. It's the producer who controls the parameters of map creation based on the specifics of their story. From an artist's perspective, AXIS maps removes the 'producer mind reading quotient'; that is, a producer gets what a producer wants and determines the elevation and reference points necessary to tell the story, rather than relying on an artist's interpretation of the information provided. For example, in a multi-city hub environment, AXIS maps provides the tools for producers familiar with local roads to produce maps that are more finely tuned to their story. We are very pleased with the product.'

Chyron CEO Michael Wellesley-Wesley added, 'We are delighted that the Post-Newsweek Stations have adopted AXIS maps for their broadcasts. Because of the online nature of AXIS, users are finding that cycle time from creation to air is drastically reduced and productivity is greatly enhanced. It is clear that AXIS online services will continue to play an increasingly vital role in the future of graphics production for television broadcasters, both on-air and on-line.'

The DR-2020U incorporates the reliable paper handling and high-quality imaging capabilities inherent in Canon's DR-Scanner line to provide robust functionality at an affordable price. Ideal for distributed scanning and general office workloads, the DR-2020U offers versatile three-way scanning – a 50-page Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) for batch scanning, a flatbed to accommodate unconventional-sized documents, and a dedicated business card feeder tray to handle batch business card scanning. The DR-2020U is capable of one-pass duplex scanning at up to 20 pages / 40 images per minute (ppm/imp) in black-and-white and up to 20 ppm/imp in color*. Combined with its user-friendly design and extensive bundled software, the DR-2020U is indispensable to nearly any office environment.

"With its user-friendly design, outstanding workflow and increased imaging flexibility, the DR-2020U is a cost-effective addition to help boost office efficiency and productivity."

The DR-2020U features an intuitively designed, copier-like control panel allowing users to quickly navigate through job functions resulting in increased workflow efficiency. Users can easily begin scanning operations through three pre-defined Scan-To-Job buttons for Copy, File and E-mail functions, as well as five programmable Scan-To-Job buttons for assigning up to 50 different imaging tasks. The Scan-To-Job buttons enable multiple users within a workgroup to access frequently performed tasks at the touch of a button, providing for simpler use and greater office efficiency.

Further enhancing user productivity, the DR-2020U includes ISIS/TWAIN drivers, industry standard interfaces which seamlessly link applications and scanners for easy hardware integration with third-party Enterprise Content Management (ECM) software. The new scanner is also bundled with the latest document imaging software packages – including Canon CapturePerfect and CaptureOnTouch, Adobe Acrobat Standard, NewSoft Presto! BizCard, and Nuance PaperPort Standard and OmniPage SE – to deliver a complete end-to-end solution.

Recognizing the need to capture original documents with precision, the Canon DR-2020U features a 1200 dots-per-inch (dpi) optical resolution, and includes a multitude of advanced image processing capabilities such as Advanced Text Enhancement, Color Dropout, Deskew and Border Removal to help optimize electronic document creation.

In addition, the DR-2020U employs efficiency-boosting features such as Double Feed Detection, Auto Page Size Detection, and Skip Blank Page to reduce tedious preparation and presorting of documents prior to scanning, helping to streamline workflows.

The star of the show was Fujifilm's FinePix REAL 3D W1, the world's first 3D digital camera. Not only did the 3D W1 pick up Innovation of the Year, but it was also Highly Commended in the Camera of the Year category. Commenting on the award Stuff said: "The W1 ticks all the 'proper gadget' boxes, capturing photos and videos in stereoscopic 3D by combining images from two separate lenses and 10MP image sensors." Launched earlier this month, Fujifilm's unique and pioneering 3D W1 has received some high-profile press coverage - Stephen Fry tweeted about it on Twitter and Queen's Brian May is among its many fans - and the fact that it has been recognised by one of the UK's leading gadget and technology magazines is a testament to Fujifilm's groundbreaking developments in 3D photography.

The FinePix F200EXR, Fujifilm's first camera to feature EXR sensor technology, was crowned Camera of the Year 2009, beating off stiff competition against competitors' models such as the Canon G10 and Sony's TG7. Stuff bestowed Camera of the Year to the FinePix F200EXR because it "got on with the job of taking excellent photos without fuss". This prize is yet another great result for Fujifilm's FinePix F200EXR, which has already won some of the industry's most sought-after awards.

Adrian Clarke, Fujifilm's Director of Digital Imaging, said: "To receive two Stuff awards is fantastic news. It reflects Fujifilm's commitment in bringing new and exciting products to the digital camera market, and with such an intense interest in 3D products, such as gaming, TV and film, Fujifilm are proud to be leading the way in 3D digital photography."

Mortsel (Belgium) – Toronto (Canada) - Agfa Graphics announces that it has reached an agreement to acquire most of the assets of Gandi Innovations Holdings LLC's North American operations and the shares of its principal foreign subsidiaries.
Gandi Innovations is a global leader in large format inkjet systems.
Since May 2009, it has been operating under CCAA protection in Canada and Chapter 15 in the USA.
The acquisition is subject to regulatory and court approval and the successful closing of the transaction. The price of the transaction is not being disclosed at this point of time, but it will have no major impact on Agfa's financial debt.

Over the period 2001-2009, Gandi Innovations has created a large installed base of inkjet printing engines, reaching a sales peak of 127 million USD in 2008. Sales in 2009 have strongly suffered from the economic crisis (affecting in particular investment goods) and the uncertainty surrounding the company. Gandi Innovations' long established team has a wealth of pioneering expertise and engineering excellence in large format printing technology. Gandi Innovations' customers include many of the world's leading Point of Purchase and large format printing companies. Over the years, they have come to rely on the company's vision, reliability and cutting-edge technology.

Gandi Innovations was founded in 2001 and has its headquarters and its production facilities in Mississauga (Canada). The Group employs 256 highly skilled staff and operates worldwide through sales offices and distributors.

Combined with recent announcements on Agfa Graphics' :M-Press Tiger industrial flatbed inkjet press and the launch of new printing engines in the :Anapurna large format range, the acquisition of the assets of Gandi Innovations strengthens Agfa Graphics' leadership in large format inkjet printing systems.

"The combination of Gandi Innovations' products and Agfa Graphics' products will result in substantial growth for our inkjet business based on an even more complete system portfolio," said Richard Barham, Agfa Graphics' Vice President Inkjet. "This is an important step in implementing our Inkjet growth strategy. As our own portfolio consists of entry-level and high-end inkjet systems, Gandi Innovations' mid-range systems are a 100% complementary fit with our existing inkjet technology."

Gandi Innovations' CEO and co-founder Hary Gandy added: "Joining Agfa Graphics offers Gandi Innovations' staff and customers tremendous opportunities for the future. The combined capabilities and coverage in customer service and research and development will accelerate the launch of new products, deliver new business opportunities and further expand our service to our customers."

Michael West, Deutsche Bank's Head of Communications for Asia Pacific said, "Our sponsorship of ART HK is a reflection of both the scale and growth of Deutsche Bank in the Asia Pacific region and our longstanding global commitment to the arts. The success of ART HK in 2008 and 2009 demonstrates the high level of demand for a world-classart fair in the region."

Magnus Renfrew, Fair Director, ART HK said, "Deutsche Bank's involvement is a ringing endorsement of the solid foundations that we have laid in Asia to date. Our shared vision and active partnership will bring us one step closer to further affirming ART HK's position as one of the leading art fairs."

Back for its third year, ART HK 10 will be held from the 27-30 May 2010 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) coinciding with the major art auctions in the city. In 2009, ART HK hosted 110 galleries from 24 countries, and received 27,856 visitors over the course of four and a half days, an increase of 31% on the inaugural Fair held in 2008. Exhibitors at ART HK 09 reported steady sales with several million US dollar transactions taking place, as well as many more affordable works being purchased by first time collectors.

Renfrew continued, "Globally, galleries are looking for new opportunities to expand their markets and increasingly are looking towards Asia. ART HK is now well established as a high profile fair with proven high quality attendance and solid sales results."

This year's Fair attracted a balanced mix of established international collectors including private collectors, foundations, curators, dealers and museums. ART HK 09 also provided an intellectual and cultural platform for a series of successful and engaging discussion-based forums such as Asia Art Archive's Backroom Conversations and Build Your Dream Museum, as well as Intelligence˛, a leading global medium for intellectual and cultural debates.

Deutsche Bank's sponsorship of ART HK extends its global commitment of promoting cultural vibrancy in the markets in which they conduct business. Under the motto "Art works", Deutsche Bank has made contemporary art widely accessible through its own collection, exhibitions and cooperative ventures around the world for over 30 years. Today, the Deutsche Bank Collection is one of the most significant corporate art collections in the world.

Deutsche Bank also collaborates with the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation with the unique joint venture: the art space Deutsche Guggenheim in Berlin.

Notes to the Press:

ART HK is organised by Asian Art Fairs Ltd, a joint venture between three of the world's leading events companies. Their individual portfolios include initiating 13 International Contemporary Art Fairs in London and New York.

Fair Director Magnus Renfrew brings over a decade of art industry experience to the Fair and was recently profiled among 15 individuals without whom "the art world wouldn't spin on its axis" in the Art + Auction 'Global Power Issue' in December 2008; and was named as one of the 10 most influential figures in the Asian Art Scene by Chinese Contemporary Art News in February 2009.

The commercial details of this sponsorship are not being disclosed.

NEW YORK and OSLO, Norway - TANDBERG today announced a new software release for the TANDBERG Content Server (TCS) that makes it even easier for TCS users to record, edit and share multimedia files in all common streaming media formats, including Flash, for easy access and delivery of content to anyone on any device.

The TCS is a critical tool for recording and sharing trainings, lectures, presentations and meetings. Now, with the addition of Flash support, organizations – many of which have standardized on Flash streaming - have the flexibility to post recorded content straight from a video call to any website with no need for decoding. This ability to quickly communicate visually is a powerful asset for keeping employees and customers informed, especially during times of uncertainty when face-to-face messages are clearer and more reassuring.

Moreover, increased absenteeism from illness this time of year is common, and with the H1N1 virus impacts are expected to be more far reaching. By enabling telepresence and video conferencing users to record calls from any standards based endpoint for archiving and future viewing, the TCS helps ensure business continuity so even if key employees can't make a meeting, they can still stay informed.

'We are using the TANDBERG Content Server because it is the only recording and streaming tool that supports all major streaming formats from a single easy-to-use device. The addition of Flash now makes the tool even more powerful and opens a whole new range of opportunities for us to provide leading businesses worldwide with reliable content management and distribution,' said Duncan Burbidge, Stream UK Media Services Limited CEO. 'With the TANDBERG Content Server, we can record video and multi-media from any standards based video conferencing equipment to easily provide our customers with high quality live and on demand streaming services in a user-friendly format so they can reach anyone on any device. There are no limits to the ability to share content, which is essential for business today.'

'The addition of Flash support to the Tandberg Content Server adds cross-browser, cross-platform, and cross-device streaming capabilities to an already powerful solution," said Ira Weinstein, analyst and partner at Wainhouse Research. "Enhanced content editing, clustering with improved SQL Server support, and wide-band audio support, make the TCS a strong enterprise streaming solution that enables users to quickly deliver customized content to a wide audience.'

The TCS is a user-friendly solution that simplifies the process of content creation and sharing to drive efficiencies and increase communication for all types of organizations. Because it is standards based, the TCS is the only out of the box solution that can leverage existing and future visual communications investments to easily stream, record and share video for anytime, on-demand access from any PC or Mac device. Additionally, new features like the five-second delay option for preparation before recording, and enhanced editing and automated sharing capabilities make developing new multimedia content for the web easy, delivering new levels of knowledge sharing and flexibility.

'Seeing someone deliver a presentation or explain a concept rather than simply reading about it in an email is undeniably more powerful,' said Hĺkon Dahle, TANDBERG Chief Technologist. 'The TANDBERG Content Server is the only recording solution with Flash support that transforms any standards based video endpoint into a content recorder. This new ability to create and immediately deliver video for the web straight from a video call extends the value of visual communications solutions to unprecedented levels.'

TCS Software upgrades will be available for existing TANDBERG customers in Q4 2009. The enhanced TCS will be demonstrated at the TANDBERG booth 524 at Streaming Media West 2009 in San Jose, CA, from Nov. 17-19.

This unique product is the brainchild of entrepreneur Phil Moulds, and allows customers to have a photograph of any treasured memories transformed into their very own 'mini masterpiece', complete with authentic mini wooden display easel.

'The idea was conceived when my brother took a photo of a beautiful rainbow in his garden using his mobile phone. Unfortunately when he asked me to make a large canvas to display the photo I couldn't due to the low quality of the image,' said Moulds. 'This made me realize that mobile phones provide a fantastic opportunity for capturing a photo of special, often unexpected and memorable moments even when your camera is at home. But in contrast to this, the 'traditional' larger canvas prints that we were making via our website didn't allow these smaller photos to be easily shared or displayed.'

This led to the creation of a new 'photo to canvas' product, the Mini Canvas. The beautiful rainbow photo was eventually made into a fabulous mini' 4'x3' canvas, which took price of place on the fireplace. The addition of a mini wooden display easel provided the final touch that transformed the rainbow photo canvas into a true 'mini masterpiece'.

Every Mini Canvas is printed on fine art canvas with specialized archival inks. Industry specific canvas laminate is applied to all prints providing enhanced durability, creating a truly portable canvas - a perfect way to share the moment with family, friends and colleagues. A Mini Canvas can provide an unobtrusive way of personalizing a workspace and are great for taking away on business, ideal for brightening up a cold and lonely hotel room.

A Mini Canvas is the perfect 'one of a kind' personalized photo to canvas gift. Although based in the UK, all prices include FREE worldwide delivery. Prices begin at £12.25 (approx $20).

Shoppers looking for a truly unique and personal gift this holiday season can view many on-screen samples and seek further information at www.MiniCanvas.co.uk

The spread of widescreen, high-definition content via digital broadcasts and high-definition video players has also driven improvements in the image quality and features of the camcorders that record the content. At the same time, camcorders are becoming smaller and lighter to improve mobility.
These demands have created an increasing need for high-performance electronic viewfinders, and in response Epson has developed a panel that can be used in LCD electronic viewfinders suitable for professional use.

Epson's new panel offers the resolution and fidelity needed to focus the image while providing a number of other benefits such as the ability to recreate smooth gradations and a natural softness. In addition, the use of a color filter prevents the color breakup that tends to occur with other color systems when shooting fast-moving subjects and while panning.

Epson has developed for many years HTPS panels to meet the high-definition, high-resolution needs of its market-leading projector business. This new panel adds another option to the ULTIMICRON series, which includes the previously-announced 0.47-inch SVGA panel. Epson will continue to offer new solutions for electronic viewfinders in digital interchangeable lens system cameras and camcorders, as well as for a variety of other applications such as head-mounted displays.
Features of the new panel

* Compact
o Small 0.52-inch diagonal screen ideal for electronic viewfinders in compact camcorders
* High resolution
o Enables accurate focusing
o QHD resolution (960 x RGB x 540, 1.56 megapixels)
o Excellent compatibility with full HD—exactly one-quarter the resolution
* Color filter
o Not affected by color breakup that occurs with fast-moving subjects and panning shots when using a field-sequential color system

LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y. – The new season of NBC's Saturday Night Live debuted not only with an a new cast, but with a new look for the opening title sequence as the entire opening montage was shot using the Canon EOS 5D Mark II and the new EOS 7D digital SLR cameras. The concept behind the opening sequence was portraiture as the director and crew looked to capture "living" portraits of the city, the cast and the unique characters that make up the New York City nightlife.

The crew wanted to capture the city nightlife in as natural a look and setting as possible. This meant minimal additional lighting, and making those on-camera feel comfortable to act naturally. Their solution was the Canon EOS 5D Mark II and Canon EOS 7D Digital SLR cameras, with their amazing low-light performance, small form factor, and amazing depth-of-field, which enabled the crew to shoot in predominantly ambient light without big lighting gear. The crew also found it easy to covertly shoot around the city without drawing a crowd.

The entire sequence was shot using a combination of Canon's full-frame EOS 5D Mark II and the selectable frame rates of the EOS 7D Digital SLR cameras. Filming at night, the new stars of the hit TV show were shot in various New York City hotspots by a small crew discretely capturing the cast as they participated in select New York happenings. The entire segment was captured and edited in a week's time, incorporating 30p footage from Canon's 5D Mark II as well as 60p footage used for slow-motion segments shot with Canon's EOS 7D Digital SLR camera.

The end result was that the cast and crew were able to shoot in any location – from the Brooklyn Bridge, which has limited ambient light, to a dimly lit street corner, to a more controlled bar interior – using only an on-camera Litepanels MiniPlus for most of the exterior shots and two Kino Flo lights for an interior shot that required some illumination enhancement. The lack of heavy equipment allowed the crew to move around the city quickly and shoot in some tight spaces.

"We have seen a shift in HD video capture toward a simpler and easier HDSLR workflow, and now with the EOS 7D shooting in standard NTSC and PAL frame rates, customers are realizing an even easier HD video workflow, using some of the largest HD video image sensors on the market at a fraction of the cost of competitive equipment," stated Yuichi Ishizuka, senior vice president and general manager, Consumer Imaging Group, Canon U.S.A.

The Canon EOS 7D and EOS 5D Mark II empower cinematographers with a high-quality HD video solution featuring full manual exposure control and more than 50 Canon EF lenses to chose from, shooting on two of the industry's largest HD video sensors. The EOS 7D also features selectable cinematic frame rates. The EOS 7D features Dual DIGIC 4 Imaging Processors and a large APS-C–sized CMOS sensor, while the EOS 5D Mark II features a single DIGIC 4 Imaging Processor and larger Full Frame CMOS sensor, helping to render stunning color reproduction, amazing depth of field and fine high-definition detail.

The Canon EOS 7D records video in one of three modes – Full HD and HD in a 16:9 aspect ratio and Standard Definition (SD) in a 4:3 aspect ratio, all at selectable frame rates: Full HD at 1920 x 1080 pixels in selectable frame rates of 24p (23.976), 25p, or 30p (29.97); 720p HD recording at 50p or 60p (59.94) and SD video at frame rates of 50p or 60p (59.94). The EOS 5D Mark II features 16:9 Full HD video capture at 1920 x 1080 pixels and 30 fps as well as 4:3 standard TV quality(SD) video capture at 640 x 480 pixels and 30 fps. The EOS 5D Mark II features 16:9 Full HD video capture at 1920 x 1080 pixels and 30 fps as well as 4:3 standard TV quality (SD) video capture at 640 x 480 pixels and 30 fps.

Both cameras record video up to 4GB clip length, depending on the level of detail in the scene, a 4GB clip can record approximately 12 minutes of video at full HD resolution or approximately 24 minutes in standard definition. For both the Canon EOS 7D and EOS 5D Mark II, sound is recorded either through an external stereo microphone or a built-in monaural microphone.

San Francisco, CA – VIZ Media, LLC (VIZ Media), one of the entertainment industry's most innovative and comprehensive publishing, animation and licensing companies, has announced the upcoming release of Taiyo Matsumoto's celebrated manga GOGO MONSTER on November 17th. GOGO MONSTER will be published by the company's VIZ Signature imprint, rated 'T' for Teens, and will carry an MSRP of $27.99 U.S. / $36.00 CAN.

Third grader Yuki Tachibana lives in two worlds. In one world, he is a loner ridiculed by his classmates and reprimanded by his teachers for telling stories of supernatural beings that only he can see. In the other world, the supernatural beings vie for power with malevolent spirits who bring chaos into the school, the students' lives, and even nature itself.

'Taiyo Matsumoto's clever stories and striking art have placed him among the best of a new generation of influential manga artists and we are privileged to present GOGO MONSTER to U.S. audiences,' says Gonzalo Ferreyra, Vice President Sales & Marketing, VIZ Media. 'This story continues to show Matsumoto's fascination with youth as he seamlessly blends themes of alienation with the paranormal. For anyone with an overactive imagination or has even just daydreamed during class, GOGO MONSTER offers an emotional tale that shows how what we see and imagine, whether real or imaginary, shapes our personality in profound ways.'

Taiyo Matsumoto made his manga debut in the Japanese magazine Comic Afternoon with the short story STRAIGHT. He went on to travel throughout France and became heavily influenced by the French comics he studied there including those created by pioneering European artists like Moebius and Enki Bilal. Matsumoto has become internationally acclaimed for stories that capture the essence of disaffected youth and adolescent alienation. His other notable works include BLUE SPRING, NO. 5 and TEKKONKINKREET: BLACK & WHITE, which are all published in North America by VIZ Media. TEKKONKINKREET won a prestigious Will Eisner Award in 2008 and was also adapted for an animated feature film. Another Matsumoto manga story, PING PONG, was turned into an award-winning live action film that is available from VIZ Pictures.

Typical photo session locations include downtowns, parks, and back yards. 'If a high school senior has great memories spending time with friends in a local downtown district, it makes sense to take photographs there,' Arroyo notes. 'If a couple is celebrating their engagement, photographs can be taken at a familiar park or other special place.'

An important part of the photo service is processing of photographs after the photo session. 'The goal is for our photographs to have a timeless quality,' says Rod Arroyo. Black and white images are a significant component of the photographer's work. Considerable time is spent individually inspecting each image and processing it to provide the best quality result. Blemishes are retouched at no additional charge. The personal attention given, from high-end processing to the quality composition of the images, sets the final product apart from other traditional studios.

The portrait service of City Photos and Books, Inc. is priced using a simple, easy-to-understand approach. There is no forceful salesperson pressuring clients to buy packages they don't need. The photo experience is designed to be relaxing and enjoyable.

For senior portraits, students from the following high schools are expected to be part of our initial coverage area: Birmingham Seaholm High School, Birmingham Groves High School, Bloomfield Hills Andover High School, Bloomfield Hills Lahser High School, Brother Rice High School, Cranbrook, Detroit Country Day School, Farmington Harrison High School, Farmington High School, International Academy, Marian High School, North Farmington High School, Novi High School, Rochester Adams High School, Rochester High School, Rochester Stoney Creek High School, Roeper School, Southfield High School, Southfield-Lathrup High School, Troy Athens High School, Troy High School, Royal Oak High School, and West Bloomfield High School. Many additional locations will be included.

City Photos and Books, Inc. was established in 2000 and has published eight books of photography featuring downtown areas including Birmingham, Royal Oak, Rochester, and more. The firm's city photography features fine art photographs that capture the buildings, landscapes, and other elements that make downtowns a special place to be. Rod Arroyo is the company's principal photographer.
