Hey GTers. I know many of you here are photographers, and I thought you'd be interested . . .
Earlier in the week, National Geographic contacted me with news of Sam
Abell’s new book, The Life of a Photograph. From the Geographic’s press
release: “Sam Abell, one of the foremost photographers of our time, shares
some of his most powerful and unforgettable images and answers the
question, ‘What gives life to a photograph?’ Drawing on 40 years of
Abell’s fieldwork, the book takes readers on assignment and inside the
heart of this master photographer to witness the making of nearly 200
truly great images.”
I was offered the opportunity to interview Abell via cellphone. On my
blog, I have posted a transcript of our discussion of the The Life of a
Photograph. Following that are 10 mp3s from the remainder of the
conversation, in which Abell shares insight and inspiration with his
trademark candor and honesty.
The interview is AMAZING. Read it for yourself, and check out MP3s!
