Fine Art Photography – Is It Still Viable?
Dear friends, you will notice three differences in today’s photography podcast: Rick is missing (he’s in Naw’lins) but we’ve got an amazing guest to fill his shoes. There’s no featured artist or photographer this week as our guest, on behalf of galleries, features all artists. 95% of the show features intelligence and well-articulated thoughts – [...]

A Retrospect – 1+41=42, Episode 42
Looking Back Tonight is a different show. Any fool can take a look back at earlier shows when they hit a special milestone but it takes creative and talented fools to do it when there’s no particular reason. And we are, if nothing else, creative and talented fools! So, we took the opportunity this week [...]

It’s All About Context… and the French – Episode 40
Context is King Okay, for the record, Rick does not hate the French. He seems really intent on convincing us that he doesn’t. Too few photographers look at their work in the context of the subject or client. What makes an image important to the client or viewer is the broader context and meaning of [...]

When Does (or Should) Your Photography Hobby Become a Profession?
Photography: You Ready to Go Pro? Holy shit, this sucker is one long show. Two freaking hours! Anyway, this show is based on a question that Rick and I (Rob) get on a regular basis. It usually goes something like “I’ve been shooting for a while and I get lots of positive comments on my [...]

Is It Real or Is It Photoshop – and Who Cares?
Why the Hell is Photoshop So Controversial? Photoshop: it’s a tool that, for some incredibly stupid reason, seems to be controversial. Some people love it, others hate, but the smart people know that it is just that – a tool to achieve and end-result. But what got us going this week was a comment from [...]

Photography Today, Is It Killing Off the Dinosaurs? Part 2
Photography? No, really, we do talk about it eventually! As usual, the guys take the long way around to getting on topic as we have our usual discussion about what we’re drinking, why Rick will eventually play all seven dwarfs, whether Rob or Tony has the larger breasts and, well, you know by now… Oh, [...]

Selling Photography – Photography Today Is Killing Off the Dinosaurs
You want disagreement and yelling? Today we look at the people who are in the business of selling photography and are dragging their feet when it comes to change. But don’t worry, it’s a self-correcting problem. We start off right on target until Tony asks a seemingly innocent question – does a store really need a [...]

Visionaries: Are There Any Visionaries Left in Photography?
Visionaries – It’s a word that evokes a sense of artistry, focus, vision (d’uh) and, apparently, confusion… Are There Visionaries in Photography? The guys get down to discussing the finer points of the role of visionaries in photography until they realize that theymay not be talking about the same thing. Oops. Still, the guys have [...]
