Shutter Time Podcast

Which photobook, inspires you?  Who is your favourite master photographer?  These are the questions we try to answer on this episode.

Sid had an interesting question: How are we westeful in photography?  Well I don't think Mac agreed with it... so let the duel begin!!

Sometimes we forget experience, because we focus too much on photography.  Where is the magic line that would let us experience and photograph at the same time.  Antonio M. Rosario from Street Shots, joins me today to discuss this topic, as Sid unfortunately is dealing with issues.  We missed her today.

An honest and candid chat with Antonio Rosario from Switch to Manual and Rob Johnson about trials and tribulations of Street Photography.  

This is part 1 of a joint episode with Street Shots,where you will here part 2 of this conversation.  We were joined by Antonio M. Rosario to discuss what kind of a photographer to you want to be.  Have a listen and let us know what kind you are :) Thanks for tuning in!  

Another great chat with our friends about what opportunities we get from photography.  It was all sparked by an innocent tweet from Bryan:   “Photography was the only way I could come close to fulfilling my childhood dream of being an astronaut.” 

In this bicentennial episode, we go back in time and talk about what worked what didn't and if we have any regrets with Shutter Time.  It's a great blast from the past!

On this episode with chat candidly with a great photographer and educator Ian MacDonald.  It's really worth a listen.

The big question, is it worth learning a different style of photography, even though you are not crazy about it, or will ever make images in that style.  Join Mac and Sid and our friend Dave Szweduik from digitalSoup podcast, as we discuss this topic.

In this episode we feature Antonio Rosario from Switch 2 Manual, Clay Daly from Cybrcast, and Mark Reierson.   We talk about how life can affect our creativity, and how to find solutions for our photographic blues.

Still Inspired by Darkness? Our follow-up to episode 193 is finally here. We had received a number of messages asking for further clarification about how someone can be inspired after viewing a photograph telling a story of tragedy and darkness. Please join us as we tackle this tricky subject! Thanks to our listeners who chimed in and challenged us to revisit this subject. This is what the podcast is all about: to keep the conversation about all things photography going. Comments and questions = more discussion.

Inspired by Darkness? We received a number of questions / messages and even a recording about our last episode, Episode 193 »» Pulitzer Prize Photographs with Antonio M. Rosario, asking for further explanation about finding inspiration in these often dark, award-winning images. While we do not discuss this any further in this episode, you can expect a proper follow-up in the upcoming week. Thank you so much for chiming in! Stay tuned! Chocolate Elephants Mac was intrigued by the clever way Vancouver photographer, Ian McDonald, penned an article about making sense of your photography. We thought Ian’s article complimented one of Olaf Sztaba’s recent articles, Confidence–A Roller-Coaster to Seeing(Intro), which we discussed back on episode 182. Inspired by Ian’s words, we took to the mics to discuss his article, the wonderful videos by Ted Forbes on his The Art of Photography YouTube channel and more!

Winning Moments Every time he is back on Shutter Time, this is a winning moment for us. Of course, I am talking about our brother from another mother, the ridiculously cool photographer and podcaster hailing from Brooklyn, New York, Antonio M. Rosario. Inspired by the incredible award-winning images in the latest version of the book, Moments: The Pulitzer Prize-Winning Photographs by Hal Buell, we decided to discuss what we could learn from these Pulitzer Prize photographs that have been a part of our history since the first award was handed out in 1942 and the photographers who made them. Disclaimer: we (mainly Sid) may have been pronouncing Pulitzer incorrectly as we have heard both versions. Before you refer to us as uncultured swine, perhaps just chime in and let us know which version is correct. Thanks! Join the Convo: We would love to hear your thoughts on the show!

Sidnado With @supercellsid as my Twitter handle, it wasn’t too surprising I went nuts over this new series from our listener and good friend of the show, Laurie (@haveteacup). We will let her tell the full story on her blog, but she has been starting to discover her photo DNA and this journey has led her to an incredible treasure, wonderfully named, The Thelma Files. Make sure y’all check out her blog and Instagram for more goodness on this series about her grandmother, a photographer and storm enthusiast! SmugMug + Flickr = True Love? It is no secret to many that SmugMug has scooped up the often-neglected photography sharing site and community, Flickr. What exactly does this mean for Flickr members? Is this a match made in heaven or does it spell the end of the Flickr we once knew and loved? Please join us as we discuss Sidnados, SmugMug, voices in your photography and more (inspiration vs. appreciation, y’all!). You can also listen to our Mac have a great discussion about this new SmugMug + Flickr journey o

Cannot Get Enough Perhaps there is something in the air, but these days we cannot get enough of our brother from another mother, the devastatingly cool New Yorker, long-time photographer and great friend of the show, Antonio M.
