The Drink and Click™ Show, EP1

Drink and Click™ founder Juan Gonzalez and I were joined by talented photographers and chapter leaders Michael Bonocore, Kate Siobhan Havercroft, Christi Nielsen, Jackie Burroughs Anderson, and Devon Bell. We talked about what we do at Drink and Click™ and how it started. There are some great stories and photo shares from the chapters they lead, discussion of architecture photography, a generous assortment of “that’s what she said” jokes, and fun and merriment all around.

We ended by announcing the winners of April’s Architecture Challenge - Joel Horwath, Kenny Shepard, and Jeff Matsuya (1st, 2nd, and 3rd). Congratulations, guys! Great work. Thanks so much to our prize sponsors: SmugMug, XUME Adapters http://www.xumeadapters.com, and  Trey Ratcliff‘s Stuck In Customs.

Remember to watch us every month on the second Wednesday at  9:30 PM CST. We think you’ll enjoy yourselves, and you never know who (or what) you might see on the show!

There’s a rumor that Juan drank 7 beers before we even got through the technical difficulties at the beginning of our attempt to broadcast. See what you think…

Photo Talk Plus, EP36 with Tom Hogarty

Thomas Hawk and I had a great time this past Wednesday with panelists Chris Chabot, Jan Kabili, Joe Azure, Karen Hutton, Keith Barrett, and our special guest Tom Hogarty, Adobe Lightroom Product Manager.

We discussed news stories, including 20 Pro Tips for Photographers on Google+ (http://goo.gl/2tLsx), the new Android Powered Nikon, and hidden view counts for your photos on Google+ (hint: you have to go to Picasa).

Tom gave us some cool demos in LR4 and answered questions for us about everyone’s favorite photo editing program. If you’re not using Lighroom 4, well, you should be.

After you watch the show, enter our contest to win one of two copies of Lightroom 4 from Adobe (each will come with a free copy of Trey Ratcliff‘s new and amazing LR4 Presets!). To enter all you need to do is make a post on Google+ and tell us either: your favorite feature we discussed on the show, make a feature request, or talk about how you will use LR4 if you win it. You must include the hashtag #LightroomPlus  in your post. You have until next Wednesday when we’ll pick the two best and announce those winners on our show that day at 8PM Pacific.

Congratulations to Billy Wilson, who won a copy of LR4 and Trey’s presets live on the show, courtesy of SmugMug (who also threw in a free year of their Pro Service) because they are one of our fantastic sponsors, who are also well integrated with Lightroom. We love them!

If you missed it last week live, watch it here now! Thomas Hawk and I were joined by our lovely and talented special guest, Kelli Seeger Kim as well as panelists Anna Nguyen, Jeff Moreau, Mark Rodriguez, Timothy Jordan, and Milena Ilieva.

We discussed several stories including new Google+ features (vanity URLS, slideshows, album downloads), the release of the new Canon 6D, new photo sharing site Medium, and the Portland Press Herald stealing a woman’s flickr photos and then paying her for them when caught (and more). Afterwards, we interviewed Kelli Seeger Kim, learning more about her photography and getting to look at it up close, discover what drives her passion and what she’s planning for the future.

Photo Talk Plus EP27 with Tamara Pruessner

Cohost Thomas Hawk and I had a GREAT time last night interviewing the wonderful Tamara Pruessner. Some of you know Tamara through her photo work on Google+ as well as her work as one of the hosts on the photography video show Life Through the Lens. Tamara talked about her photography work as a storm chaser, her work with flowers and her future plans in the upcoming year, including work on the Google+ Mentorship Program.

Panelists for last night’s show were Scott Jarvie, Tara Romasanta, roma g, and Keith Barrett.

Last night’s topics included the Google+ “Get Started List” (I think we all agreed that Scott Jarvie should be added to it), how Meagan Kunert ruined her career, Louis Gray’s post “Pictures or it Didn’t Happen,” and a few new Google+ enhancements added yesterday.

Congratulations to Billy Wilson who correctly identified that Lotus Carroll was the first guest ever on Life Through the Lens and won a one-year SmugMug Basic Account subscription.

Thanks to everyone who showed up for last night’s show and we can’t wait to interview Jordana Wright next week, fresh off of her America by Rail photography tour!

Episode 26 of Photo Talk Plus with the one and only Sly Vegas as our special guest was fantastic! Sly talked about how as a recent newcomer to photography he has been able to advance the skills that are necessary to begin working as a professional photographer and getting paid for his work.

In addition to giving away a $500 Adorama Gift Card (congratulations are in order to Cameron Siguenza!) we discussed the new MacBook Pro announced last week (mine’s on order!), the difference between CF and SD camera cards, upcoming photowalks including one in San Francisco this Sunday, the planning for a second G+ photo trip to Death Valley, and 65 photowalks now scheduled for June 30th for the 1 year Google+ Anniversary.
