That feeling when you start editing a story and you realize just how much you can take away and the more you cut out the more you love what emerges.

Coming Up With Some Ideas

Well I have been listening to some new podcasts today. One of them that stands out to me the most is The Candid Frame: A Photography Podcast. In the bit I have listened to, it seems that the show centers around the host interviewing artists that interest him and having them share a bit about themselves and the process that they use to make images. In a way, he is providing a how-to podcast and a good interview as well. I have a few more shows to listen to, but this one really has me thinking. I have an artist that I would love to interview about her growth from photography and into other mediums…maybe I can make an interesting show out of it.
How is everyone else coming along? Have you come up with any ideas based on what you have been listening to? Are you already under way recording your podcast?
In my TOC presentation, I ended up sounding like I was almost asleep while I spoke. I am wondering how I will go about making myself be a bit more lively while speaking in this project. Any suggestions?

Reading, reading, reading.

Today has been, and will continue to be, a day full of reading. I started the day reading from my new pocket edition of The Hobbit and then proceeded to read the news while eating breakfast. After that, I began reading through some works that I began last term that I had decided to put down for a bit and come back to, see if I can find a new way into them and make them something I will want to submit. Then I started reading a dear friend’s script that he wrote for a pilot he will be filming in a couple months. I am about a third of the way through the script and am loving it. I think that Don is on to something good here and I am honored that he thought I should give it a look and maybe even share some of my thoughts about it. All in all, it has been a fantastic day. I hope you all are having a similar experience.
