Camera Position 61 : Summer Peaches on a Winter’s Day

Podcasting & Digital Storytelling at PhotoPlus Expo

I’ve just posted the audio and presentation slides of the session I did a few weeks ago at PhotoPlus Expo in New York.

The presentation was about how to create podcasts and other “digital storytelling” pieces and covers software, hardware and workflow for multimedia projects. At a little over 2 hours, it’s longer than a typical Camera Position podcast, so I’m not presenting it as one, but rather linking to the presentation’s web page, which contains a variety of resources that include the presentation slides, the presentation audio and  links to a wide variety of resources.

Take a look….

Camera Position 59 : Evidence of Hands on Stone

After an insanely busy fall, I’m back in front of the podcast mic, talking about photography. In this episode of Camera Position, we go to the Midwest Society of Photographic Education conference in Flint, Michigan, where I presented a 40 minute talk about my photographs of Italy. This episode of camera position is that presentation, including its visuals, The Italian Portfolio: Evidence of Hands on Stone.

Getting your work out there… how do you do it? We take a look at some responses to an exhibition I just had at the University of La Verne in California and see how that might fit into how you can show your work.
