An Industry Celebration and Tribute
DVD Captures Poignant Macworld 2007 Tribute to Charismatic Digital
Imaging Pioneer,
Bruce Fraser
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

San Francisco, CA
January 31, 2008
The stars of imaging came out en masse during Macworld 2007 to honor
one of their
own: digital imaging pioneer Bruce Fraser. Much like the way Bruce's
inspired and
generous work moved many thousands to create superior imaging; so
were the industry's
giants, both corporate and individual, moved to come together to
share their unique
perspective, anecdotes, and most of all - appreciation for Bruce's
enormous contributions
to the arts.
Now, a year later, the Bruce Fraser Tribute organizing committee,
with the support
of Adobe Systems, Inc., Apple, Inc., Epson America, Inc., Hewlett
Packard Company,
Microsoft Corporation, Peachpit Press, and X-Rite, Incorporated; is
offering a faithful
record of last year's remarkable event, captured on DVD and available
at no charge
(shipping and handling fees apply) via www.brucefrasertribute.com].
The Tribute committee, comprised of Larry Baca, R. Mac Holbert, Chris
Murphy, Andrew
Rodney and Jeff Schewe, are asking the graphic arts community to
consider making
a voluntary donation to help retire medical expenses left behind by
the rare lung
cancer that took Bruce away from us. The donations can be made
directly on the Tribute
website.
"If you were fortunate to attend the Tribute itself, you will find
the DVD to be
a treasured keepsake; if not, you will experience a program that
will touch your
heart, make you laugh and most of all demonstrate how one thoughtful
individual
can hold a unique place in an industry and in the lives of all whom
he touched,"
says Baca.
The DVD culminates with an extraordinarily moving gesture of
gratitude expressed
by Bruce's wife, Angela; recited over a specially-composed and
synchronized version
of "Scotland the Brave", created and produced by famed musician
Ronan Hardiman,
specifically for the DVD.
The "Industry Celebration and Tribute to Bruce Fraser" DVD
An Industry Celebration and Tribute to Bruce Fraser was a lively and
engaging recollection
of how digital imaging and desktop color has evolved over more than
20 years to
become the everyday phenomenon it is. Hosted with grace and
unrehearsed humor by
Bruce's friend and fellow musician and artist, Graham Nash, the
Tribute was filled
with striking still visuals, video clips and told by the geeks and
non-geeks who
knew Bruce along the way, (including famed landscape photographer
and digital pioneer
Stephen Johnson; Bill Atkinson, an Apple Fellow and now a
photographer himself;
and Adobe Photoshop engineers and friends, Thomas Knoll and Mark
Hamburg, to name
but a few). An Industry Celebration and Tribute to Bruce Fraser gave
attendees a
vivid, inside look at how one dedicated and focused person of
extraordinary humility
could shape an industry, from billion dollar manufacturers to home-
based photo enthusiasts.
