That takes some basic knowledge of our craft, visual literacy, and most importantly the courage to make a choice and risk being wrong. On one hand this one's about how I choose my lenses and apertures, on the other hand it's about something so much bigger.

Read this!! This is Episode 4 of A Beautiful Anarchy and it's probably the last one I'll post on YouTube for a while. I posted the first three because I wanted to let you know about it, but without the intent to keep doing so. You can find new episodes 3 weeks out of 4 on aBeautifulAnarchy.com or iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Play or most likely any of the other players that use an RSS feed. I'd love to have you listen in on any of the other channels, but YouTube won't be the place that I really maintain this. Huge thanks for all the initial support, I'm so grateful and encouraged! (if this bums you out and you want to make a case for me putting this on YouTube all the time, give it your best shot, I'm open to being wrong, but mostly it's that YouTube isn't really my jam and it's one more thing to do and, know what? I'm just going to end up forgetting and disappointing people and I can't handle that kind of emotional responsibility. Know what I'm saying?) </video> <video> A Beautiful Anarchy - Episode 01 Description: This is Episode 01 of a A Beautiful Anarchy, a new podcast with a title that I shamelessly stole from my book of the same name. It's new and speculative and on first glance has nothing to do with photography. Except that it does. Once you're beyond the ability to focus and expose, it all comes down to being creative and this is a mostly-weekly podcast that discusses those issues. I will be posting the first three episodes here on YouTube, to give you a taste but if you want more, you can find them all here - https://www.abeautifulanarchy.com/ - and you can either listen there or follow the links there to iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher, or Google. </video> <video> Vision Is Better, Ep.75 - The One About Going Pro Description: So you want to "go pro," eh? Don't get your business cards printed until you watch this episode. This is the one about going pro. It's also the one where I wear a pirate hat. What can I say, winter is coming, the studio was cold this morning, and it's my favourite new hat.

I have a bit of a love / hate relationship with them. Actually, it's more of a tolerate / loathe relationship but we're seeing a counselor. Here's my take on the benefits, and the dangers (so, so many dangers) of photography competitions. Take it with a grain of salt.
