Photo Share Podcast Tips and news about online photo sharing (especially Flickr!).

Thanks for joining us again on the Photo Share Podcast. We especially want to thank everybody that has been contributing photos and answering the question of the week on the Flickr group. This week our photo was contributed by The Great God Pan (Zak). Is that a mime or a “living statue”? We couldn’t figure it out.

Our interview this week is with Dboo (Steve), who is the photo archivist for the collection of photos that Nick DeWolf took before he passed. This isn’t just any collection of photos . . . in terms of volume we’re talking about thousands and thousands of photos (by the way Steve was talking, maybe hundreds of thousands!). And most of these photos are from film cameras, so Steve is scanning negatives and photos all the time. Anyhow, Nick DeWolf was an interesting guy, so most of our conversation is about Nick, his photography, his life and times. Part 2 of the interview will be up in a couple of weeks.

Speaking of a couple of weeks . . . based on our erratic schedule of late you might have guessed that Sandra and I have been pretty busy. We’ve both got things going on right now, so for the foreseeable future we’re going to an ever other week schedule. We don’t want to stop because we enjoy talking to Flickr members so much, but it’s tough to find the balance we need.

Anyhow . . . our question of the week . . . What is your personal favorite style of photography? And Why? You can answer that question and also contribute photos to the group at the PSP Flickr group.

Thanks for listening and talk to you in a couple of weeks!

Yup, we’re back after a bunch of life issues and technical problems . . .

This week we conclude our interview with Lorenzo (you can find part 1 with Lorenzo here). We want to thank him very much, and our winner of the photo of the week, Jesialex.

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!

There have been a lot of great things happening with the podcast lately; we’ve got a bunch of dedicate administrators looking around for intriguing photos to invite to the group, and the number of members is steadily growing. Sandra and I would like to thank everyone of listening and submitting their photos.

Take a look at that photo there, submitted by Demi-Brooke. It’s another great photo by one of our younger members that really shines. Thanks being for submitting the latest photo of the week!

And we present part two of the interview with Helena Zinkham from the Library of Congress. Speaking of which, there was an article in the Boston Globe last weekend about the LOC Flickr project, and it quotes Helena.

Finally, we’d like you to tell us what interests you. What kind of question of the week should we be asking? Hey, we’re not too proud to say we’re not doing a good job of creating questions that would appeal to people! You can answer that question, as always, on the PSP Flickr group.

Have a good week.
