The Photography 411 Podcast, It’s alive!
Well here we are, The Photography 411 Podcast day number one! It’s good to be up and running. The site is still getting it’s legs under it and working things out, give it some time to mature into a great place for all things photography.
I hope this will be a very informative and helpful endeavor to everyone interested in photography, from seasoned pros to those just falling in love with the medium and art that is photography.
The podcast will be about all things photography, industry news, new products, interviews, the creative process, travel, landscapes, portrait and weddings, Photoshop, a rant here and there maybe. What I guess I’m saying the shows will be about whatever I’m interested in at the time. But I’m totally open to hearing what you have to say too. If you have a topic suggestion, really want me to interview someone specific or just want me to answer a photography related question feel free to email me at edward@photography411podcast.com.
Alright, that’s it. Now all we need is an actual podcast.
