It’s true: we love our cameras, taking pictures, and hanging beautiful images on the wall. We are photographers. But many visual artists are also talented in other areas of creative expression. I’ve learned this over the years during casual conversations at workshops and conferences. And many times I’ve been impressed with the revelations. This week’s podcast is dedicated to the secret (artistic) lives of photographers. I hope you enjoy the show.
