150 Dave Loebig Helps Rick and Larry with Websites for Photographers Sep 02, 2019

Show notes

Rick recently needed help with a website update and Dave Loebig fixed everything in no time. Dave is a long time friend of Larry's and runs the company that hosts the Picturing Success website, so when Rick needed help updating his site to a secure one for better visibility, Dave handled everything.

Rick and Larry know the importance of a good website for photographers (and any business) so Larry sat down with Dave to discuss the stuff that photographers should know and do with their website.

148 Nick Page Interview with Rick Sammon Aug 26, 2019

Show notes

Nick and Rick love landscape photography. And they love sharing tech tips. However, in this dual podcast these two pros talk more about getting motivated and staying inspired than about the exposure triangle. :)

Nick and Rick do cover camera care, tripod setup and a bit about photo processing but as you will hear, they are basically having the same kind of fun and informal conservation they have when they meet up on the Oregon Coast, which is one of Nick’s favorite shooting locations.

Nick wrote the foreword for Rick’s 39th book (coauthored with his wife Susan): The Oregon Coast Photo Road Trip: How to Eat, Stay, Play and Shoot Like a Pro. So these guys talk about the book, too.
