Just a quick post to report that George over at the One Minute How To podcast invited me to participate in his fun show, where people explain how to do something in 60 seconds.
This was my second time on the show, the first one, “How To Publish Your Project In A Book” is here.
This episode was about “How to Buy and Use a Tripod.”

The Focus Ring returns with a new format where each contributor submits 2 of their own images to discuss the topic of Light & Shadow. Contributors Chris Marquardt (Tips from the Top Floor), Jeff Curto (The History of Photography and Camera Position), Martin Bailey (Martin Bailey Photography Podcast) and Ibarionex Perello (The Candid Frame & Shooting with Alas) join together to discuss the importance of shadow in the creation of a successful photograph.
Find the podcast on the web or at iTunes
Let us know what you think of that format and what topics you might be interested in hearing discussed on the show.

If you were stranded on a desert island, what one photograph would you bring along to sustain you visually? I’m soliciting Camera Position listeners’ “Desert Island Photographs” and asking them to send me the one photograph they think would keep them visually “fed.” Listen to the podcast to find out how to play along.
Eugene Atget’s “Lampshade Seller” (above) is one of Jeff’s Desert Island Photos

“Many times beauty begs to be recorded and it is only later that its position in the overall order of things becomes apparent.” So said podcast listener Bryant Johnson, a sentence that made me think about how we photograph and the ways that we can produce work just by looking and responding.
After our time talking about project planning, I thought this was a great way to segue into a discussion of beauty, photographic impulse and how this picture of a cloud taught me a few things.
