“Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.” – Thomas Merton
How can we use the art we make with the camera to grow, learn and provide ourselves with a way of saying new things… to, as Merton says, “find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time”?
I’m asking listeners to help steer the future direction of Camera Position by letting me know what you’d like to hear.

Congratulations Jeff, only two away from your bicentennial. That would be a historical event. More on history in a follow-up email.
Welcome back Jeff, I’ve missed the podcasts. Was starting to wonder if you had given up on us, glad you haven’t.
As for ideas on the future … one of my favourite recent purchases has been the Magnum Contact Sheets book.
How about doing a series about your thought processes behind some of your photographs and show the previous shots as you discover and explore the subject, before deciding on the final photograph image?
I think this would give some insight into the working of a photographer/artist.
Just a thought.
Owin… thanks so much for this comment and for the idea of a “process” podcast (or podcasts!). I think that’s a great idea and it’s something that I’ll put in the “hopper” for a future podcast! Thanks for listening!
Hi Jeff,
We are still out here!
I like Owin’s idea. I was going to suggest you select a series of images and dissect each on on the basis of what you think works and doesn’t work and why. I’d enjoy watching you “consume” images if that makes sense.
The thing I enjoyed most while I attended your workshop in Tuscany a few years ago was the image critiques. You do a great job at this…far better than just about anyone else I’ve experienced. Doing this on your podcast would be awesome.
Thank you for doing what you do and for asking for input.
Al
Thanks, Al… for listening and for becoming a great friend and “fellow traveler” over the years. Also great to have confirmation of the idea of a “process” podcast (or two!) and for the kind words about the workshops and critique. Hey… congratulations on having your portfolio of Acadia photographs in the current issue of LensWork – it looks great!
