    • #244 Slideshow - January 2013

      I've got a new DSLR full of buttons and jacks so I'm commited to shooting something every day. Every month I'll put up a set on my Flickr site featuring one image from each day. Ill provide some commentary for each photo in the podcast. These are not meant to represent the best of each day, or the best I can do, rather some thought or lesson I learned from the shoot. Check out the show notes on the blog.

    • #243 About Critiques

      The origin of this show is the result reading this post by photographer Eric Kim about the process of running an online critique, such as they have on Flickr and elsewhere. In this show I use his post as a starting point and looke at ways of running a critique face to face with individuals or groups the benefit both sides.

      Futher show notes and transcript are on the blog.

                                                In this second installment of my interview with Susan Murphy, we talk exclusvely about PAB, the annual New Media event that takes place every year in June in Ottawa Canada. It's not merely about media, it's more fundamental, focusing on ideas and the power of storytelling. If you missed the last episode, check out the first part of the interview, where we talk about creativity and Susan's experience attending Creator Camp a little over a year ago in Ottawa.

                                                You will find a full set of show notes and links on the Video StudentGuy blog.

                                                This is the last year for PAB and while you can search on the site for posts about my experiences attending years poast, there's no substitute for being there. This is your last chance.

                                                It takes place June 8-11 but there's still time to register. I liviein southern New England and it's a good 8 hours or so to get there, but It's more than worth the time and effort.
