Grats to your 50th show. :)
Thanks for continuing to do what you do. The show is truly an amazing photographic resource. I'm really grateful for the energy that you're willing to put forth to make it happen. I know I've learned a lot as a result. Here's to hoping for 50 more!
Your blog seems interesting. I'm subscribing your feed.
A great interview. I really enjoy the shows you put together. Freeman Patterson is one of my favorite photographers and I was extremely pleased to see that he gave you the time to provide some wonderful insight on photography.
Great interview. I had no idea that you had Freeman Patterson queued up until I settled in to listen late last night. I certainly credit Freeman's work and his book "Photography and the Art of Seeing" with making a difference in my work and how I see the world around me.
I've been quietly listening to your Podcast for a year and a half, and I just had to send along my thanks to you for another great interview.
This was a really excellent interview and contains several very inspiring points. I look forward to sharing more of Mr. Patterson's keen insight into image making with participants of my own photo-workshops.
Hi,
Please can I take a sound clip from your introduction to use in a presentation to a group of Librarians in further and higher education here in the UK? Not Freeman, just your voice.
I have learned so much from your podcasts - but I am now scared to post photographs :)

That's fine. Not a problem. Thanks for asking.
Freeman Patterson has been one of the greatest inspirations to my work. I have taught numerous classes based on his books and his philosophy. He's a master.
The podcasts won't download. My computer does not play the full program no matter how long I wait. Can the podcast facility be fixed? I am very interested in your interviews but unable to hear them.
Thanks.
I've not received reports of problems and I am able to download the podcasts on two different systems. Are you have problems with all episodes or just specific ones? Are you on windows or mac?
