This is a fun show! Rick begins by welcoming listeners to Martin’s awesome podcast, The Martin Bailey Photography podcast, and Martin welcomes folks to the Picturing Success podcast.

Martin and Rick talk about workshops – not only how to get great pictures, but how to enjoy the experience. If you are looking for an intensive and fun-filled workshop, check out Martin’s workshops!

More fun: Rick and Martin both agree that it’s a good idea to go back and look at past images – to see how they might be improved with new technology.

Martin also talks about Rick’s 40th book (Kindle and paperback), Photo Therapy Motivation and Wisdom – discovering the power of pictures. Here, too, Rick and Martin have many of the same photo – and life – philosophies.

Our friend and fellow photographer, Paul Kober, suggested today's topic so we followed his lead and covered 5 Quick Tips for better back yard bird photos.

We may not all use the same instruments to get our own bird photos, but these tips should help.

Rick came up with the idea that memorable phrases make learning easier. That's the basis for many of his learning tools called Sammonisms. And during a recent Sammonisms show Larry added a couple tips and Rick suggested that there should be Beckerisms.

This show is a focus on Beckerisms for the first time ever. As you're listening, just keep in mind that you're a part of Beckerism and Sammonism history.

In this episode, Rick talks with USA TODAY’s Jefferson Graham about the videos Jefferson makes for his YouTube Photo Walk series.

You will learn about sound recording as well as video recording. All good info if you want to make your own videos.

Rick and Jefferson also talk about still photography, including taking photos with pro cameras and the iPhone.

These guys have a lot in common. They both play guitar, and in this episode they talk about the similarities between music and photography.

Here are the links to what Rick and Jefferson talk about on the show.

Lightroom expert, and heck of a nice guy, Rob Sylvan talks about his #1 top selling (at the time of this writing) book Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic for Dummies. He also talks about printing from Lightroom, which is still a challenge for many photographers.

Rob, like Rick, has heard, “Lightroom lost my pictures!” In this episode, Rob explains how Lightroom does not lose your pictures, and gives some tips on how to avoid that experience.

Interested in stock photography? Rick and Rob talk about that, too. Rob is also a KelbyOne instructor at Photoshop World.

Rob’s latest book

Rick and Larry have both experienced the payoff that comes from writing a book and this time Larry interviews Rick about the topic in 5 Quick Tips style. Fast and to the point.

In this episode Derrick talks about his new podcast, The Nimble Photographer, on which he interviews not only photographers, but other creatives as well.

Derrick also talks about photographing what you love, being recognized as an artist, the highs and lows of being creative, problem solving, working for yourself and the business side of photography – and what success means means to different artists. Rick had a blast doing this interview, and we think you will love it, too!

The “Ansel Adams” of printing talks with Rick about how to get the best quality print.

Yes, Rick makes his own prints on his Canon Pro-1000. But when he needs the best archival print (as well as a big print), he goes to George Kondogianis – as do many of Rick’s professional photographer friends. If you make your own prints, or plan on making your own prints, this episode is for you!
