I cannot think of a better way to start off a new year! Woke up this morning to hear the great Rick Sammon and Juan Pons saying “he uploads some incredible work on the DPE community website” (at the 1:08:18 mark) on the latest episode of The Digital Photo Experience podcast. They were introducing the image above, “Family Time,” one you’re already familiar with if you follow this blog or me on Google Plus, that I uploaded to the show’s Google Plus community with hopes of being chosen as one of their critiques.

Why Google Plus Haters Are The Best Thing For Google Plus
So recently, I’ve been seeing a few posts and articles circulating around the web that are basically hating on Google Plus and, well, as a Google+ lover, I think that’s pretty awesome. Huh!?? Yup. You see, it’s not often that something as seemingly trivial as this really rocks my boat, but considering the extremely polar opposite experience that I’ve had on the platform, and the second glass of single-malt I’m working on, I felt compelled to spurt out a late-night response to it all. This ‘rant’ centers around why I think the haters are helping the platform rise above the rest. -
Photo Sites & Podcasts & Books & Festivals & Stuffs
So this is a bit of an untraditional post for me, but I couldn’t help myself…I just finished listening to the latest episode of The Digital Photo Experience podcast hosted by Rick Sammon and Juan Pons, which I HIGHLY recommend if it’s not already in your playlist, and they were interviewing Frederick Van Johnson of the This Week in Photo (TWiP) podcast, another one that is a MUST for you photography peeps…but anyway, Frederick is apparently a modest and humble creature, which is quite refreshing, because until that interview I had NO idea about two incredible things going on in his life that actually affects us all:
One, he is the new Vice Chairman of the Board at the Brooks Institute of Photography, so congrats to him.But two, and even more relevant to us all, is his pet project, MediaBytes.com. This is perfect. The part that’s most important to us photographers in this day and age is…where and how do we fit into the maddening pace of the ever-shifting industry? What direction is it all headed?

DP’d (Again).
So this is pretty neat! You may have seen me post this photo of Sentinel Rock in Yosemite before, but I got served a bit of awesome sauce today because of it! It was just picked to be critiqued for another popular photography podcast. Check it, it’s the Digital Photo Experience hosted by ridiculously respected photographers Rick Sammon and Juan Pons, and they talk about the image at the 56:22 mark. That’s the third image on three podcasts in the past few weeks, including a different image on this same podcast a few weeks back for one of my oak trees. People seem to be digging some of this stuff, now, hot dammit how do I turn this into something tangible!? Get me outta this shack!Anywho…in case you’re bored and at work, here’s the podcast link:

They provide valuable insight and tips and information and ideas and inspiration in every episode. A good listen while you’re in the lightroom.
