Hey there! I’m excited to share the latest episode of the Perceptive Photographer Podcast. This episode is particularly special to me as it marks the 499th episode, leading up to the big 500th milestone. In this episode, we dig into the importance of understanding the purpose behind a photograph and how you can learn to see better by critiquing before you ever grab the camera. To help you with this, I have a fun exercise designed to have you visualizing and critiquing photographs without actually using a camera. So check out the podcast for all the details on how to get started making better pictures without the camera.
Also, don't forget to check out the upcoming workshops on color photography and the creative process if you want to deepen your understanding and skills in your work.

In take 357 of episode 491 of the podcast, I dive into the impacts of forks in the road of our creative process. From the early excitement and motivation of creative processes to balancing the struggle of staying true to oneself while connecting with others. We dig in and explore some of the journies and paths we might find ourselves in photography, and the tough choices between giving up and pushing through. I hope you join me as I reflect on conversations with others and my own highs and lows, striving for improvement and understanding in my work.
Who am I in my photography? What am I saying about the world and my perception of the world through my photography?
It's one of the great parts about the photographic process is that growth that comes from a better understanding of who I am and the things that matter to me in the world and how I express those through the photographs

In this episode, I delve into the impacts of fragmentation in our photography

This week in episode 489, I dig into the intersection of chance, self-expression, and photography. In revsiting the text from Clive Scott's "The Spoken Image" I dig a little into the impact of whether photography is more about reacting to spontaneous moments or preparing for them. So as you listent to the podcast, ask yourself are you more of a 'ready-for-the-moment' shooter or do you thrive in the unpredictable?
"The exposure to the camera, the click of the shutter, is a real world event."

This week's podcast asks you to forget the technical jargon or future worries that you might have in your photographic practice. Instead, in episode 485, we are talking about how Edward Hoppers desire to appreciating light on a building, Cezannes seeing the surroundings, and the beauty of just staying put to catch those subtle changes can make a different in our work. We also dig a little into how those ideas become as Louis Kahn says our teachers. After all our work, is about creating a deep connection with the moment of when we are out there with our camera. Often easier said than done.
"When we shift from that, when we move from thinking about just the quality of light, that simple idea of painting the side of a house, photographing the side of the house with the light on it. And we shift into worrying about what it should be, what it could be, what it might be. We leave the present moment."
