#266: Dance Monkey, Dance
© Ty Cole
This week, we begin with a talk about the idea of obsolescence, from the perspective of tools and hardware that for seemingly arbitrary reasons are no longer able to be used. Also, a discussion around being on (or off) a roll creatively and how sometimes you can’t see the crest from the dip. Plus, does Instagram have a secret hashtag #blacklist? Ty Cole is our Photographer of the Week.

Beer Diplomacy Podcast Guest Spot
I was the guest today on Stuart Tracte’s podcast Beer Diplomacy. Which is interesting for multiple reasons. First, I don’t drink, and second we didn’t talk politics much at all. But we did discuss photography (of course), the new iPhone, and why the NSA spying pisses me off so much. Also, you can hear me swear which I don’t do very much on On Taking Pictures.
Enjoy.
I’m a guest on Portrait Walkthrough podcast
Jason Vandehey started a podcast recently called Portrait Walkthrough where he brings on a guest to talk through the making of an image or two. He asked if I’d like to participate and I’m a press whore like Kevin Smith, so of course I said ‘Yes!’.
We talked through a couple from my old Drabbles series. Chris Berger on the skateboard and Cynthia Smith on the floor with the leaky roof. Two of my favorite so don’t miss out.
So go here and listen to the show:

…and while you’re there subscribe because I’m sure the first few that Jason posted and those that follow will be just as riveting as I am.
Just kidding, the other photographers will be a lot better spoken.

The Candid Frame – I’m this week’s guest!
Last week I was lucky enough to be the guest on Ibarionex Perello’s fantastic photo podcast called The Candid Frame.
We talk about the need for personal projects, the story behind my 365Portraits.com project, as well as how I approach taking portraits and working with the subject to get them to be a partner in the process. It was great fun to record and Ibarionex is a real gentleman. So go listen to my episode and while you’re there, subscribe to the whole series. It’s that good.
Spread the word and enjoy.
