Podcasts?

Seems like new podcasts have been a bit thin lately. Have you given up on the podcast?

Absolutely not!!!

I know it's lame to say "I've been busy," but it's the truth. Since the first of the year, I've only done four new podcasts in the last 8 weeks. However, we've also launched the Road Show events schedule for 14 cities, remodeled our travel trailer to make it a rolling office for my travels, wrapped up LensWork Extended #104, prepared and printed LensWork #105, moved my assistant to Portland where she now works remotely, moved our offices 5 blocks (where we are still waiting for the last of the phone lines be installed), prepared for a major LensWork Special Editions exhibition at CPA in Carmel, prepared for a seminar I'm teaching at PEPCON (the Printing and ePublishing Conference) in Austin, TX in late April, and taken two whole days off since the New Year, including yesterday. Whew!

Thankfully, things are slowly returning to a more normal (and sane) pace and our regular schedule is easing us back into a more comfortable routine. So, look for our regular podcasts this week!

So, what are you doing with your spare time? ;-)

I have read Steven Keen's books recently : the Cult of the Amateur and Digital Vertigo.

And I must say I like your pod casts; you do them better than most amateurish imitators out there -- these pod casters take lousy well worn; tired photos that masquerade as meaningful art, and let alone write a good solid paragraph of critical review.

I noted with laughter, your earlier review of Brandt's work -- you said : "that you did not get it ". At first it seemed like Napoleonic tirade from your high horse -- you reacted emotionally to the stupid prices collectors were paying for his prints. You did not really explain why you do not like his work

As it happens at Moma there is a Brandt exhibition : "Shadow and Light"

I am interested to hear if your opinion of Brandt's work has changed ?

Perhaps it has, as people change over time.

It sounds like a good idea for you to visit exhibitions ( where it is practical of course ) and say a few words in your blog -- you can keep your readers informed about what you think of certain works or photographers.

Your work Brooks is never finished, so keep writing and commenting in your pod casts as they are very useful to the public at large.
