In this interview, my good friend Joseph and I have a quick chat about some of the cool projects he currently working on – including being signed as the official photographer for Seal’s upcoming European tour.

I’ve known Joseph for several years now, and among his many talents (Photographer, Cook, world traveler) he’s always been a good and loyal friend. We sat down for this interview during his last evening in San Jose, CA. He needed to crash in my guest room as he’d just vacated his place, and was in transit to his new home in Pasadena.

We recorded this interview while drinking some really good wine, and just before watching the movie Harold and Kumar go to White Castle. An excellent combination.

You can check out some of his work on his website, read him on his blog, or just follow his exploits on Twitter.

An informal sit down with Data Robotics Director of Product Marketing Tom Loverro. Great chat on DroboPro launch day about the product, who it’s for, why it’s different, etc.

Photographer Nicole Young opens her camera bag, and gives a show and tell!

Follow her on Twitter, or check out her blog.

A quick look at my Mac mini, Drobo, and Airport Extreme set-up. Basically, this set-up serves my movies, music, and audio books.

Using my promo code “Lucky“, you can get $55 off your next Drobo purchase. For a few more weeks.

As far as I know, there is no bigger fan of Apple’s iLife software than Jim Heid. He’s a self-described poster child for the software and has been using it since pre iLife, when there was only iMovie.

Jim is also the author of the extremely popular book entitled The Macintosh iLife. I met Jim during my time at Apple and we became good friends, mainly because we’re both pretty rabid about Apple software, though we disagree on one or two points. Jim and his standard poodle and mascot, Sophie, divide their time between San Francisco and the rugged coast of Mendocino, California.

On most Wednesday evenings, he co-hosts “Point & Click Radio,” a weekly computer radio show, which you can listen to here: http://www.kzyx.org/pc/ You can pick up the book from your favorite book reseller, or get it directly from the publisher. Jim is currently putting the finishing touches on the 2009 revision to the book that will cover the new features we discuss in this video. It should be available in May.

Steve Simon, born in Montreal Canada – and now a resident of New York City is one of the busiest photographers I know. He’s created an impressive body of work that can be viewed on his website, and looking at his work you’ll see that he is one of those photographers that always seems to be “in it”. He’s a true photojournalist, and seems to be willing to put himself in harms way to get the story.

Steve has published several books, including a favorite of mine Heroines & Heroes: Hope, HIV and Africa. I had the honor of sitting down with Steve for a few minutes last week in San Francisco to record this video.

Steve is also a regular guest with me on the This Week in Photography podcast, and it was great to have this informal off-air conversation with him.

Last week I had the pleasure of interviewing Alex Lindsay. He’s the head honcho at PixelCorps in San Francisco, and hosts several popular podcasts like This Week in Technology (TWiT), This Week in Photography (TWiP), MacBreak, and more.

In this interview Alex discusses how he got his start, his work on Star Wars, and his early work in podcasting.

For those who haven’t had the opportunity to get to know Alex, here’s your chance!

An up-close and personal conversation with Michael Adams, son of legendary photographer Ansel Adams.

In this brief interview, we discuss what it was like growing up as the son of one of the worlds most prolific and respected photographers. Michael’s background is very interesting on its own – having been a physician, Air Force General, and a fighter pilot, it seems the Adams’ family produces some pretty over-achieving genes!

Nicole Young is an excellent example of a next-generation stock photographer. She is a regular contributor to iStockphoto and has seen some impressive revenue generated from her images.

She is refreshingly humble and open about her work, and was eager to share tips, techniques, and encouragement for other photographers considering the micro-stock arena.

Merkley is one of the most popular photographers on Flickr, with over 17,000 contacts, and millions of photo views, he’s a real testament to how digital imaging technology has changed the way we consume photography.

The last time I sat down and had a chat with Merkley he told me if it wasn’t for Photoshop and Flickr none of this (his photography) would have been possible.
