Camera Position 61 : Summer Peaches on a Winter’s Day

A cold winter’s day prompted me to work on a warm-day photograph, then to make a cold-day photograph. Also, we celebrate Camera Position’s 2nd birthday and talk briefly about the Photocast Network and the Focus Ring podcast.

Podcasting & Digital Storytelling at PhotoPlus Expo

I’ve just posted the audio and presentation slides of the session I did a few weeks ago at PhotoPlus Expo in New York.

The presentation was about how to create podcasts and other “digital storytelling” pieces and covers software, hardware and workflow for multimedia projects. At a little over 2 hours, it’s longer than a typical Camera Position podcast, so I’m not presenting it as one, but rather linking to the presentation’s web page, which contains a variety of resources that include the presentation slides, the presentation audio and  links to a wide variety of resources.

Take a look….

Camera Position 59 : Evidence of Hands on Stone

After an insanely busy fall, I’m back in front of the podcast mic, talking about photography. In this episode of Camera Position, we go to the Midwest Society of Photographic Education conference in Flint, Michigan, where I presented a 40 minute talk about my photographs of Italy. This episode of camera position is that presentation, including its visuals, The Italian Portfolio: Evidence of Hands on Stone.
