TCS - What People Are Saying About Paula Sanders
What People Are Saying About Paula Sanders
by Don Singleton
Tulsa Computer Society
From the September 2002 issue of the I/O Port Newsletter
TCS Member Paula Sanders has two websites,
http://ephemeralvisions.com and
http://perpetualvisions.com, she has
a regular column on several online forums, such as
http://renderosity.com,
and has reviews posted in various graphic manufacturer's websites. As she discovered at the
recent Siggraph 2002 trade show she is well known internationally in the Graphic industry. At my
request Paula has made available a list of some of the websites, newsletters, forums, etc where
her artwork and articles have been recognized. I thought that TCS members might like to know
what an internationally famous person we are fortunate to have as a member of Tulsa Computer
Society.

"Did I mention Paula Sanders? I'd say she was probably one person
who left an indelible impression. Gracious, intelligent, witty and talented, and with a joie de
vivre that is incredible, truly describes Paula. We are so glad that from this meeting we were
able to persuade Paula to bring her talents to Runtime DNA."
From the Dancing Trail Newsletter May 2002
"Field Trips:...... At the Moist Cliffs I met Paula
Sanders out of Oklahoma, who does a very interesting work in photography which she calls
"painting with light". After talking with her for a while and then looking at her pictures on her
website, I realized that she takes an approach to light that is different from anything I have
ever seen before, and it will
affect the way I look at scenes now."
From Adobe User Group Relations Webpage
"ImageReady 2 plus many
new and exciting features
keeps Photoshop 5.5 far
ahead of the competition."

"I have used Andromeda's Shadow Filter on both Window's NT and 95
platforms. The interface is self explanatory and the preview option is
immediate. The effects one can get with types of light, positions of these lights,
and intensities are almost infinite." Paula Sanders - Tulsa Computer Society

"Great review, I really liked the fact that It wasn't over techy,this is the
problem with some reviews in that they just don't tell you the truth from
the perspective of a new user.
thanks again,
