Thoughts on Photography
Thoughts on Photography is a podcast not about tips and tricks, how to take better portraits or landscapes, or travel destinations (although they may be mentioned). It’s not so much about the how of photography, more so about the why! It’s inspired by where photography begins for us – the stories and how people are using photography in their lives around the world today.

One of the most challenging parts of starting a photography business, and keeping it going, is trying to do it alone.  There are so many benefits of being in a community with other photographers, whether it be locally or online.  In this episode, I speak with photographer Josh Newton about the importance of community for photographers.  Follow Josh at http://instagram.com/joshnewton  Check out some resources such as http://shootandshare.com and http://improvephotography.com/workshops
