In Steve's own words...

"I love being a full-time wedding photographer. The happy couple are my clients and so are their family, friends and the generations that will follow them. It's humbling to think that my work is going to be viewed by their children's children. It's a wonderful thing to be able to provide these memories and I'm grateful for the opportunity to make these photographs that will last a lifetime"  — Steve Vansak - wedding photographer

In this interview Varina and Jay Patel join me to talk about their collaborative project with Shimoda Designs. Varina had the idea that considering women have "slightly" different anatomies than men, camera bags could easily be made comfier for the other half of the population. Working with Shimoda Designs they came up with something special! This interview is about how that idea went from epiphany to production.

About the book "Create":

It is time for a new mindset. Many of us think of creativity as something distant and incompatible with the daily life-a skill that artists get to use, but not the rest of us. Maybe you feel like a land-locked surfer, yearning for exhilarating rides. Or maybe you live for the few hours a week when you can take photographs, paint, or write. It's time for a new mindset. Create shows you how to rediscover the artist within you.

Live a more creative life. People who make a living in the creative arts know that there is a cycle to unlocking the imagination: Visualize, know your tools, work your craft, refine, share.

In this interview, I sit down for an important chat about climate change. Mette Lampcov about her project Water to Dust. Mette is one photographer who has made it her mission to document some of the effects of global warming, and some of its side effects.

Some of the side effects of climate change discussed are the recent fires in California, safety when shooting, how Mette approaches situations where she's inexplicably unwanted, (because of the polarizing topic) and more. Mette shoots with Fujifilm cameras as well as Canon.

Mette has found a system and workflow that works for her while allowing her to tell some of the most important issues facing people who inhabit planet Earth.

This interview is part of a collaboration between Fujifilm, The Phoblographer and This Week in Photo called Visual Momentum. For the companion written article, head over to ThePhoblographer.com.

The Phoblographer has posted a powerful article about Mette and her Water to Dust project. Be sure to check it out over at ThePhoblographer.com. The site is an amazing resource for photographers of all types.

About Mette

Mette Lampcov is a freelance documentary photographer from Denmark and is currently based in the greater Los Angeles area.

Mette studied fine art in London, England and after moving to the United States 10 years ago, studied photography and journalism at UCLA. Her personal work includes projects about violence against women around the world and undocumented migrant workers in California. She is currently concentrating on a long term project about water and climate change in California; how climate change and water affects different socioeconomic groups and the landscape surrounding them.

In this interview, Panasonic's manager of retail services Mark Toal joins me to discuss the company's move into the full-frame sensor space. We address how the new S1 series cameras are different from other full-frame cameras, and how Panasonic's move into full-frame does not mean the demise of the much-revered micro four-thirds format.
