Jack and John welcome back David Cobb, a frequent guest and Oregon resident to the show! Listen in as they catch up with David on some of his more recent projects and discuss how he approaches some of his photographs. David is an acclaimed author of several books, along with a founding member of Photo Cascadia and he has a wealth of information to share with all of us interested in photography.

From Davids bio…

As a long-distance hiker, I have sharpened my photographic perspective over the years on the Pacific Crest Trail, the Continental Divide, the Canadian Divide and most recently walking across Iceland. After years of capturing images along the trail and becoming more and more passionate about the art of photography, I took the leap and “quit my day job” to devote myself full time to my photographic work.

Now as I photograph throughout the US and around the world, I am continually awed by the broad spectrum of nature’s offerings—from a delicate heliconia flower on the exotic island of Rarotonga to the sweeping Patagonian landscape. My particular fondness for the Pacific Northwest is reflected in my local outdoor shots. My goal is to capture the wonders I see in nature for the enjoyment of all those with an eye for the extraordinary.

Jack and John welcome Brenda Tharp to the program. Brenda is a veteran of the photo industry and has a wealth of knowledge and experience around leading a creative life and following her passion. Brenda is currently drawn to the Intimate Landscapes, that space between Grand landscapes and Macros and her love of this really shows in her incredible work.

Listen in to this wonderful conversation with Brenda as they talk about how she goes about creating her images as well as how she and her partner live and travel in a van which affords her the timing and flexibility to become intimately familiar with locations as well as waiting for ideal conditions.

The We Talk Photo podcast is dedicated to being an entertaining, informative and lighthearted discussion about a wide range of photographic topics centered around landscape and nature photography. Hosted by Jack Graham and John Pedersen, both long time industry professionals, they will bring you in to their conversations about being creative, learning to “see”, getting to know industry leaders, trends and perhaps some gear talk.

We are overjoyed to welcome Guy Tal and Michael Gordon to the show at the same time. They are both longtime friends of us and of the show, but to have them together on the same episode is epic! Listen in as we discuss different topics related to creativity and the creative life, inspiration and happiness in photography. Because of the length of our discussion, we have created two episodes, each roughly 25 minutes long. Listen in and take to heart some of the wisdom that these two fantastic creatives discuss this craft of photography.

Guy mentions a book titled Flow. HERE is the link to this book.

Guy Tal

I am a professional writer and photographic artist living in Utah. I am the author of several books, a blogger, and an educator. In my photographs, I aim to express emotions and moods rather than to document or commemorate the appearances of places or events.

Michael Gordon

Michael E. Gordon is an award-winning fine art landscape photographer best known for his black and white impressions of California’s deserts which, said Broughton Quarterly, portrays “stunning ethereal beauty from terrain where others see only a bleak landscape.” A lifelong student of nature and wilderness, Michael’s intimate relationship with the natural world yields quiet images of depth and discovery.
