202: Weekly with Brad James
Brad shares about some ideas and plans to photograph Purple Sandpipers along the rugged coast of Newfoundland. I share about an outing photographing Florida Scrub Jays, then I photographed Night Herons in the dark at night, and I wrapped up my past week with my first outing using a dome port on the underwater housing and trying to photograph split-level shots of wading and shorebirds in Florida. We wrap up the show answering a listener question from who asked: I always enjoy your podcasts with Brad, and in a recent episode there was a bit of conversation about aches and pains and generally getting older. I could relate, but it also got me thinking about the inevitable end we all face in life, and what would happen with my photography. I thought it might make an interesting discussion topic for your podcast, not from a morbid perspective, but to encourage genuine thought about what our end of life wishes for our images would be given we put so much energy, passion and creativity into them. Over decades we accumulate galleries of many thousands of images. These images have value - sentimental value to our families, commercial value as art, or educational value that could support conservation causes. What would you and Brad want to happen to your image libraries? Do you want your family to have them, or would you prefer to leave them to a charitable conservation organization that could use them towards good causes?
