Take 1: I'll be honest. I'm not a video guy. I don't get it. I think that all the people that say that video will make still photography obsolete are smoking crack. But I have been intrigued by the Red camera since it's early introduction. And now that it's actually shipping and people have had time to mess around with it, I have to say that I'm pretty impressed that it's a digital camera. Jeez, I'm gonna need a stronger camera strap!

Take 2: I'll be honest. I'm not a skateboarding guy. I don't get it. All these guys flipping around on their boards outside our office day and night. But whenever I see a guy pull and ollie or a kick-flip, I think to myself, how the heck did they do that? And now with Tony Hawk pulling 900s, I have to say, I'm pretty impressed.

This skateboarding video is just beautiful.

"PhotoShelter has found a better approach to stock photography. We're crushing old industry standards by treating photographers fairly. That's why 37,000 photographers from 130 countries are gathered here to provide the most fresh, diverse and authentic image offering available today. We're changing the image marketplace for good."

Adobe Lightroom is a popular workflow tool for photographers, and our users have been asking for a PhotoShelter plug-in for a while to upload their images to PhotoShelter directly from Lightroom. But sometimes we have to pick and choose between development projects, so this one languished a bit. But one of the cool things about having a community of over 40,000 photographers is that there are bound to be a lot of smart and intrepid people.

PSC Contributor Paul Kamphuis from the Netherlands decided to take it upon himself to create his own plug-in using our API. Even though all the API documentation is Personal Archive-centric, he figured out how to get the images into the PhotoShelter Collection too. Like I said, we have some smart people...

In between watching the Netherlands take the gold medal in the 4x100m freestyle women's relay, we sat down for a little chat.

You're obviously technical, what's your background?
Correct, I am MSc in computer engineering. I've work as a software developer for about 12 years now. For the past eight years, I've worked for a small company here in the Netherlands, where we develop measurement systems and sensors for our clients. Most of these are medical products and include measuring gas concentrations.

My main work is developing the internal software for the measurement devices, so nothing even remotely related to these Adobe Lightroom plugins.

You're a Lightroom user . Can you describe your typical workflow after you've taken a picture? What types of operations are you performing in Lightroom?
When I started doing photography more seriously last year I needed a tool to organize my workflow. Around the same time Lightroom was released and it just did everything that I needed. I have been using it ever since.
