This is not a show about everyone is a winner and every picture is good. We know better on both counts. We also know that some people do bad things with their cameras. They�re not included here either. What I mean when I say, �all photography is good photography,� is that working with a camera and creating an image is good for your craft, regardless of the camera. I�ll explain more on today�s TDS Podcast.

Our smartphones and many of our digital cameras have built-in flash capability. And to some degree, when to use this feature is counter-intuitive.

The Art of Banks is touriyng in San Francisco right now, with its next stop in Denver. I spent the morning sharpening my eye admiring the work of the famous street artist.

On December 31, 2021, the world lost two Golden Girls: Betty White and my mother, Lynn Story. I was at mom’s bedside with family when we heard the news about Betty White’s passing. Hours later, Mom followed. They had much in common, including love of family, tolerance of differences, and care for animals. I wish I had an interview of Betty White to share with you because I so admired her. But I do have a chat with Lynn Story from December 2018 that I’m going to play. There is much to learn from her words. They resonate even more now in 2022. I hope you enjoy the show.

I hope you enjoy the show.

It’s true, we live in the age of the smartphone. Then why am I so happy to pull my digital camera out of my backpack on a regular basis?
