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!

Photo Talk Plus EP26 with Sly Vegas

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.

Joining myself and cohost Thomas Hawk were panelists Robin Griggs Wood, Keith Barrett, Jon Armstrong and Richard Hay.

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. We also talked about Jay Patel’s post about how photos from the iPhone will impact the photography business.

New Photo Talk Plus Sponsor – Adorama!

Cohost Thomas Hawk and I are so excited to announce that Adorama has joined Photo Talk Plus as a sponsor for the show.

When we started the show we decided that we would limit the number of sponsors that we’d accept to four. All four companies had to be companies that we both naturally enthusiastically used and that we would feel happy supporting and personally endorsing. Adorama is definitely that type of company. I bought my beloved 7D and 18-200mm lens from Adorama when I took the DSLR plunge, and I’m so excited to be able to personally endorse them. Our other two sponsors SmugMug and Blurb Books equally are companies that both Thomas and I can stand behind and personally endorse.

Many in the photo community know Joel Meisels, who has been Adorama’s public face to the photo community for a long time. Joel has been an instrumental advocate for photography in social media working for Adorama and Thomas and I are excited that we’ll get to work with him more now.

To kick off our new relationship with Adorama, *we will be giving away a $500 Adorama gift card live to one of our viewers on tomorrow night’s show.* Be sure to tune in http://vidcastnetwork.com at 8PM Pacific and get in the chatroom http://vidcastnetwork.com/chat when we interview the one and only Sly Vegas. Joining Sly will be panelists Richard Hay, kora foto morgana,  Robin Griggs Wood,  Jon Armstrong and Keith Barrett.
