Lexar Elite Photographers to Share Digital Imaging Experiences and Techniques with Visitors to Lexar Booth at PhotoPlus Expo in New York

Lexar Elite Photographers to Showcase Work While Sharing Tips and Lessons with Attendees of Annual Photography Trade Show

Fremont, CA, October 15, 2008 -- Lexar Media, a leading global provider of memory products for digital media, announced today that Lexar Elite Photographers Vincent Laforet, Moose Peterson, and Rick Sammon will be sharing their extensive knowledge, techniques, and bodies of work with attendees in Lexar's booth (#926) at PhotoPlus Expo 2008, taking place at the Jacob Javits Center in New York City on October 23-25, 2008. These pioneers of digital photography will be on-hand to show their latest work, discuss their experiences as professional photographers, and answer questions about their digital imaging workflow. Additional information about Vincent, Moose, and Rick, as well as their photography experiences and techniques can be found at www.lexar.com/dp.

"Vincent, Moose, and Rick are three of the most prolific and talented digital photographers in the world, and we are proud that they rely on Lexar Professional memory cards to accomplish their work," said Jeff Cable, director of marketing, Lexar. "The images themselves are only part of the story; most often, the explanations of how the shots were taken is just as important and interesting as the end result. We're extremely pleased to have these professionals in our booth at PhotoPlus Expo to showcase their work and share their stories."

Photographers of all skill levels and disciplines require speed, capacity, and reliability to continuously and confidently capture images. Lexar Professional Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC) and UDMA-enabled CompactFlash® (CF) memory cards allow professionals to shoot faster and longer without needing to change cards and, as a result, potentially miss a shot. Additionally, Lexar Platinum II CF and SDHC memory cards provide an excellent combination of speed and capacity for value-conscious video and photo enthusiasts.

Renowned nature photographer Moose Peterson relies on his gear to be as fast as his eye when photographing elusive wildlife in his native Canada. Travel photographer Rick Sammon shoots in exotic locales around the world, confident his cameras and accessories can withstand any shooting conditions. New York-based commercial and editorial photographer Vincent Laforet trusts his equipment, whether flying through the air taking his signature aerial shots, or on the ground capturing images for some of the world's best-known publications.

These Lexar Elite Photographers will share their digital imaging lessons and tips with visitors to the Lexar booth between 12:00 pm and 4:00 pm each day at PhotoPlus Expo. The full schedule of in-booth presentations are as follows:
