We’re back after a one week break, which we need to take to catch-up on other life things . . .
There to the right you see our photo of the week, Memorial, by Lepista. On the podcast Sandra and I were talking about how a lot of memorials look alike, no matter what country you’re in. This one is in Liverpool, but I’ve seen similar ones in Germany and the U.S. What does that say about memorials?!
Lorenzo Domínguez, or LorenzoDom, or I would suggest, just Lorenzo (I think if you’re on Flickr you might just know him by his first name, he’s that popular — 18k plus contacts!), is our latest interview subject (we’ll have part two next week). Lorenzo is popular on Flickr for a bunch of reasons: cool photos, his writing that accompanies his photos, his story about how he starting taking photos and putting them on Flickr, and his self published books. He’s someone that’s learned how to use Flickr to promote and market himself, something I’m always interested in learning about. Plus he’s a really humble guy that is more than willing to help and give good advice.
Also this week, Sandra tells us more about her experience selling one of her photos for a billboard advertisement, which hopefully doesn’t turn into a cautionary tale!
Our question of the week, which you can answer on the PSP group on Flickr, should get some interesting answers: Have you ever been stopped taking photographs? If so for what reason?
That’s it for now. Don’t forget to vote on the photo of the week on the Photo Share Podcast website. Talk with you next week!
Not to be pedantic, guys.
But the memorial is in Port Sunlight is Wirral, not Liverpool. It’s the other side of the River Mersey.
It is great that you all had the forsite to interview one of the “Rising Stars” of our Generation! I really enjoyed this interview with Lorenzo!
Thank you once again Bill and Sandra for conducting and producing this interview. I was very excited and honored to be part of your show and have received a lot of great feedback because of it.
As a follow-up and wanted to share a few thoughts on how photographers and their work should be assessed. I think it would be of great service to your listeners if the yardstick included a realm of other factors beyond flickr’s Explore and I’ve written an essay on this, which you can access here:

Thanks for your time and consideration. I am looking forward to listening to part two of the interview; many people have asked me when it will be released.
Sincere Regards,
Lorenzo
