    I had to add to this post. I have been a long time admirer of Derek Powazek’s work. He is a well know photo blogger and web developer. He is also in the Bay Area. I am considering contacting him to see if he would come to speak to our web design class. He’s probably very busy, but it never hurts to ask!

  • Bill Said:

    That would be totally amazing to have Derek come speak to our class! Busy-smizzy, you gotta get him to come. Just tell him he’ll have the full attention of a class full of very interested students.

  • Lucia Said:

    What a great suggestion! Derek has a very impressive background. I would love to hear him speak here in our class!!

  • Will Said:

    Ditto! I think having Derek come to speak to our WEB design class would be beneficial to everyone. It would be great to have a guest speaker with his knowledge.

  • Lillian Said:

    That’s a great idea! Derek can be a real inspiration to us fledgling designers.

  • Georgia Said:

    Yes, lets see if he can fit us in - after out unit on PhotoShop it would be great to have a writer/photographer to lend us some wisdom.

  • Sher Withrow Said:

    I, and many of our web class, REALLY would appreciate it if Derek Powazek would grace us with his time and presence. Ask him “purty pleeze” with “whip cream” on top. Would it help if we will bring lunch for him? Napkins included ;D The value of his “current trends” knowledge and expertise would be heap mucho helpful to us! Seriously, what’s the name of his “grumpy cat”???

  • Tom Said:

    I agree, having Derek’s insight as a professional web programmer would be invaluable to the group.

  • Steven Kyle Said:

    Add my name to the list of people who would very much like to hear Derek speak to our class.
