In this episode "NSB" What the heck is NSB? Well, you probably suffer from it and don't know it. Those who have emailed me of late sure do and so this episode.

In this episode "Hummer Prep" No, this episode is not about cars. It's about doing your homework, subject, gear, techniques, prior to being out in the field so you're ready when you are, out in the field.

In this episode "Mid Summer Light" Summer has never been known as the mellow light time of year. Quite the contrary! So how ro you keep making those great photos when you're out in that kind of light? I have an idea or two.

In this episode "Stay Safe" For some, traveling with camera gear is a scary proposition. I have some thoughts to stay safe.

In this episode We're Wired for Answers" We are actually wired in such a way that it can lead us to photographic frustration. I didn't know that but it got me to thinking of possible answers to avoid it.

In this episode "What Moves the Eye?" Having a subject and exposure is just the start of the photograph. We must also take the viewer for a journey through our image to tell them our visual story. The question is though, what moves the eye?

In this episode "Grave with the Ends Knocked Out" I was reminded this past week that all creatives including photographers can hit that wall when the clicks just don't come. It's happened to me, perhaps you. How do you get past the grave with the ends knocked out?

In this episode "No Seconds" I remember all too well when I was little around the dinner table that when dessert came out, I was always told, "no seconds." This holds true when the great photo comes around, are there no seconds.

In this episode "For Competition" I ask a simple question this week. Who are you taking the photographs for?

In this episode "Your Best Friend" Your best friend knows you and you know them. They help when you need help. They make you laugh and make you cry. At times, you can't live without them.

In this episode "Recognition of THE" We're all after THE photograph the represents not only our skill but the story we're telling to tell. But actually seeing "the" photograph is a challenge. This might help you find it.

In this episode "Which Way to Turn" Background, storytelling and most importantly the subject, which way do you turn? Do you follow the herd or go your own path in arranging the elements in your photograph?

In this episode "Spraying & Praying" In this day and age where so many rely on the computer for their image, spraying, and praying has become a common technique that others think is a crutch. Is this a technique that is good or bad for the future of your photography?

In this episode "Packing" I am commonly asked how I go about packing for an adventure or project. There is an art to it and it begins with asking yourself, "What's the subject" and then ... well, you'll just have to listen!

In this episode "Seeing Past the Camera" "How do you see those photographs?" This is a common question that I now often answer with, "I see past the camera" Just what does that mean and would its meaning help your photography?

In this episode "Printing" The print tells all ... and is the most important vehicle for being a better photographer and for sharing!

In this episode "Thirty Year Itch" The seeds of critter exploring were planted in my soul long ago. Sitting around a campfire with biologists, the stories of amazing locales with great critter-filled the air. I'm just back from one of those solving a thirty-year itch!

In this episode "Matrix of Likes" There seems to be a system for placing worth to our images, Likes, that just perhaps isn't serving us as we might like or want. Does Likes actually take us away from our goal of visual storyteller?

In this episode "The Best" "Get the best you can afford." Advice given to me long ago that I still go by today. But what does that mean and can this same advice help your photography!?

In this episode "Gear Dependence" I ask the question, 'cause I don't have the answer, but are photographers perhaps, becoming gear and feature dependent?
