I head down to Corona, California to deliver a keynote presentation for the very first F64Live conference. I discuss the idea that photographers shouldn’t necessarily be calling themselves “photographers”, and instead consider using the term “Artist” instead.

This week I’m joined by rocket launch photographer Erik Kuna and YouTuber PhotoJoseph. The topic is quality, or the lack thereof in many tech products and software today.

Have we become a society of beta testers? Back in the day, manufacturer’s polished their products to as close to “perfection” as possible. Occasionally a few “bugs” slipped through, and those were quickly fixed. Today, it’s more of a matter of rushing your product to market, then allowing consumers to complain and find the problems. Which are then fixed by the ubiquitous firmware update, software patch or in some of the more egregious cases — recall.

Is this the state of things today? Or is it time to get back to the days of W. Edwards Deming’s Total Quality Management (TQM).

An interview on rocket photography with Erik Kuna:

In this interview I discuss “artivism” through photography and changing the planet by telling environmentally focused stories.

Christine Ren aka The Underwater Woman, was named 1 of 5 women in media changing the world by Matador Network, Christine is a filmmaker and underwater performer dedicated to advancing social and environmental causes. She holds her Master’s degree in Marine Affairs & Policy from the University of Miami’s Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS).

Her narrative underwater imagery campaigns have been featured to-date by Nat Geo, KQED, FStoppers, Petapixel, Phoblographer, and more. Christine’s skill sets and work history are an eclectic mix of marine science, professional dance, and entrepreneurship, but at her core, she is an artist and passionate visual storyteller.

Her work embodies the idea that ocean conservation is a human issue. Her upcoming underwater photography and modeling workshops are listed here.

In “G’s” own words:

I’m Giulio Sciorio but my friends call me “G” and I’ve been a leader in photography since 2009. I predicted things like cinemagraphs, vertical video and am the only photographer to have been sponsored by both Olympus and Panasonic. My edgy but real conversations got me on the best photo podcasts in the world, got me on stage at CES, Imaging USA, WPPI and a few keynotes at my favorite photo conferences.
