From this use of the term pi to represent a jumble comes the term pi font, a catch-all category for fonts containing an unpredictable mix of symbols, special-use characters, border elements, decorations, whatever.

Five People Who Made Great Impact on the Photography Industry in 2010. 2010 was a very good year for the photography industry. While there were challenges, most of the big conventions survived.
We didn’t lose too many manufacturers, and spending on photography grew nationwide at about 13%. More than these stats, there were several people who made a big impact on my life and on the industry in 2010 that I’d like to take a moment to recognize. In no particular order: 1. Scott Kelby continues to amaze. 2. Yes he’s my friend and business partner on several projects. Skip Cohen has been a fixture in this industry for four decades. 3. Zack Arias is a tornado. 4. Trey is a force of nature who has single-handedly set the bar (very high) for education, enlightenment and art in the HDR photo space. Is the Bible for serious HDR devotees. 5. Vince Laforet is a Pulitzer Prize winning photojournalist who has made a huge impact this year in the fusion space. These five individuals deserve recognition and thanks for their work.
