Go Watch The Premier Episode Of Photo Talk Plus!

Did you miss the live premier episode of Photo Talk Plus, the Google+ Hangout-Based Photography show I am co-hosting with Thomas Hawk last night? No worries – it’s recorded and you can easily view it any time you like at Vidcast Network thanks to Keith Barrett.

We had a great time talking about some top photography stories from G+ with our panelists Brian Rose, Chris MacAskill, Amy Heiden and Helen Sotiriadis and interviewing special guest Scott Jarvie who rocked our socks with insight and stories about his work and personal philosophies involving photography. I loved hearing about how Scott got his start in photography and what he does to get those amazing, authentic photographs we all love.

Thanks so much to our amazing sponsors SmugMug http://www.smugmug.com and Drobo http://www.drobo.com for their support and excitement, and the great prizes for our viewers. We’ll be announcing the winner of the free one year subscription to SmugMug and the free drobo mentioned in this episode on next week’s show!

Photo Talk Plus – Live Tonight at 8PM PST – Join Us!

Photo Talk Plus is a Google+ hangout based Photography show hosted by Thomas Hawk and myself. Tonight’s premier episode will be live at 8PM CST, broadcasted by Keith Barrett on the Vidcast Network. You don’t have to have a Google+ account to watch the show (though I highly recommend it, and if you want to jump into the hangout when we eventually open it to the public later on in the evening, you definitely need an account).

When the show goes live tonight, you’ll be able to access it at Vidcast Network. You can also keep up with announcements via Google+ by keeping an eye on Thomas Hawk, or me – Lotus Carroll.

The first 30 minutes of Photo Talk Plus will be talk about what’s interesting and hot in the Photography world on Google+ from the past week. Google+ has an amazingly vibrant Photography Community populated with photographers who are engaged and sharing amazing content and ideas consistently all day long, every day. We’ll be grabbing top stories and interesting tips and tricks to talk about. This week, we’ll be joined by photographer panelists Amy Heiden (Urbex & Night Photographer), Helen Sotiriadis (Photographer, Architect, Teacher & Author), Brian Rose (Google+ Photos Community Manager) and Chris MacAskill (Photographer, President & Co-founder of SmugMug).

The second 30 minutes will be an interview with a talented photographer who is active on the Google+ social scene. Our special guest for the first show is Scott Jarvie, an amazing wedding (and more) photographer who will answer our questions live, show his work, and let us in on some of his secrets.

“The Jarvie”

I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Scott in person recently, after following him online for some time, and he is not only an amazing talent, but a big personality. This is a can’t miss interview!

Photo Talk Plus is sponsored by SmugMug and Drobo. If you’re present at the live showing, you’ll have a chance to win some amazing prizes from them. Thomas and I will both give some personal words on these sponsors, who we carefully picked because they are brands we truly believe in and can stand behind. You can find their G+ Brand Pages here: SmugMug & Drobo

After the first hour, the recorded portion of our show will end, but we’ll still be streaming live and we’ll be taking questions of all kinds from people who are present and engaged in the chatroom associated with our show on the Vidcast Network (very easy to join in). So if you want to ask questions and generally hang out, don’t miss that! By 10PM PST we’ll be wrapping up the whole shebang.

I hope you’ll tune in live! If, for some reason, you cannot be there for the live show, rest assured we’ll have a recording and a podcast, so you can listen/watch later, too.
