Screen shot from Tony Sweet's iPhone course on the iPad
Well, it’s a combination of reasons. First, I think there are TOO many podcasts out there these days vying for what little time we photographers have. I felt that mine was becoming just one of many instead of something unique. Plus, I had a LOT of other things interfere – some family health issues, work on a series of iPad and iPhone apps (yes, some of this could be valuable for photographers) and then an idea that I have.
If you’ve been a regular listener to the show, you have heard me mention how I’ve fallen in love with the Adirondacks. You’ve probably figured out that I’m back in Austin, but still have my house up there.
Well, I’ll probably be back up there for good by next summer and I wanted to come up with something more regional and valuable to the area. So, when I pick up doing the podcasts again, I want them to focus on the Adirondack area photographers. I know, not a large group of folks, but I have a reason for that. They’ll be highlighted on this site, and a new site I’ve put together at www.artintheadirondacks.com.
The really interesting thing I want to do is a recurring Adirondack Film and Photo Festival. The area really needs economic development, and if I can use my network of filmmakers and photographers to help achieve that goal, I’m going to do it. So, you’ll find the emerging details of what I’m thinking about at www.adkfilmandphoto.com.
So, stay tuned, because I’ve not stopped, I’m just busy turning the boat.
