Depth of Field: David Honl
David Honl and I have been interacting via the net for many years. But as is common with net-based relationships, I have never met him face-to-face. It’s a strange world we live in. You’d think listening to this podcast we’d hung out with each other or shot together, but that is not the case. Maybe [...]
Depth of Field: Michael Clark
A few weeks back Michael Clark and I got into a fight. It was a knock-down-drag-out kind of fight and the internet won all, but the last round. Michael is patient man that allowed me to keep calling his home until we finally had decent line. Thank you Michael. Not only is he a patient [...]

Depth of Field: Jasmine Star
Jasmine Star is a real person. By that I don’t mean to imply that she was thought to be some fictional character. What I mean, is that for someone who has rocketed to fame in a few short years as she has, she has maintained a grip on reality. She’s not pretentious. I did not [...]
Depth of Field: Trey Ratcliff
Meeting with Trey Ratcliff online for an interview was about as easy as pulling teeth. This guy is busy. I thought we would never make our schedules match. The irony is after a ton of emails, and a hand full of miss-connects over Skype; after finally getting the interview with him, then posting a blog [...]

Depth of Field: Gary Dowd
This was a short interview I did with Gary Dowd back at last year’s Photoshop convention in Las Vegas. Gary and I shared a room and I was able to take 30 minutes of his time to sit and chat about his experience as a producer for photographers. This is a job that is not [...]
Depth of Field: Gary S. Chapman and Vivian Chapman
Gary S Chapman and wife Vivian Chapman’s goal is to help non-government organizations communicate with the public through stunning images. This is particularly important for NGOs working with disasters, or in areas of development. They are very good at it! Gary, originally a journalist for top rags like Louisville Courier Journal, brings a real photojournalist bent to [...]
Depth of Field: Ami Vitale, David duChemin and Matt Brandon
This is perhaps one of my favorite Depth of Fields. It is less an interview (not that any of my Depth of Fields can be called interviews) and more of a discussion. The listener gets a fly on the wall perspective with Ami, David and I recounting what it is like on the road. An [...]
Depth of Field: Karl Grobl
Karl Grobl is an amazing man. He travels more than he stays at home. He shoot compelling images with his vast selection of lenses, a 18-35 f2.8 and a 70-200 f2.8. That’s it, that is his whole kit. He shoots because there are compassionate stories that need to be told and NGOs that need his [...]
Depth of Field: Zack Arias
This interview is posting later the the Digital Trekker. Most of you hard core Depth of Field freaks have already listened to it on either Peachpit TV or iTunes. I was on the road in Texas and did not have an opportunity to post it. Only now, afgter arriving back to Penang have I the [...]
Depth of Field: Chris Orwig
Today I speak with Chris Orwig, an instructor at the Brooks Institute of Photography, about what prompted him to write Visual Poetry, his approach to teaching students, why we need to “slow down,” and what we can do to become better photographers. Chris is one of the wisest guys I know. The guy has an [...]
Depth of Field: Ami Vitale
This past September we where fortunate to have Ami Vitale as a guest instructor on our Ladakh Lumen Dei photo workshop. It was a great experience and I deepened a friendship. Hear me when I say, Ami Vitale is the real deal. She is a true, in the trench, get dirty photojournalist; And she’s one [...]

Depth of Field: Nevada Wier Pt1
This week I had the delightful experience to interview Nevada Wier. Nevada is one of the best travel/world photographers shooting today. She not only has an eye for the story but she pushes the boundaries of conventional photojournalism as well. In these interviews she explained to me how she gets joy and fulfillment from experimenting [...]
Depth of Field: International Guild of Visual Peacemakers
Today’s Depth of Field is a little off topic. But, not by much. Instead of looking at a working photographer and seeing what makes them tic, we are going to look at how photographers can give back to this world we live in. There is way too much hate around us. Way too much violent [...]
Depth of Field: Gavin Gough Pt 2
I had a lot of good feedback on yesterday’s interview with Gavin Gough part 1. I think you will also enjoy the conclusion of that interview today. Gavin and I had more fun that I think we were allowed to have in an interview. As you can tell most of our time was spent swapping [...]
Depth of Field: Gavin Gough
Monday, just before my computer’s graphics card went south, I had the distinct privilege to interview my good friend Gavin Gough. Gavin as you probably already know is a travel/world photographer based out of Thailand. This is a two part interview. Gavin and I talked about his history and how he makes a living as [...]
Depth of Field: Bob Krist
Yesterday I had the privileged to do a phone interview with Bob Krist. You know Bob from his work with National Geographic and National Geographic Traveler. It was a very casual interview, more like a conversation with an old friend. The interview went rather long. I could have edited it down, but I thought you [...]
Depth of Field: Robb Kendrick
This is the first in a series of interviews where I hope to speak with world photographers about their vision, their craft and yes, even their gear. I have titled this new series Depth of Field. ((pun intended.)) Robb Kendrick was born in Spur, Texas in 1963 and currently lives in San Miguel de Allende, [...]
I shoot for mostly NGOs and nonprofits. I photograph images of the unknown, the forgotten and the helpless. These are often the stories that most people overlook.
