​On the "Camera and Inspiration" show, Scott and Marco talk about inspiration in photography and try to help you to take your camera out with more intent. On this episode they cover the following topics:

• A warm welcome to the new "Camera and Inspiration" episode at www.PhotoPodcasts.com

• Scott picks this month inspirational photographer: Diane Arbus (1923 - 1971) American photographer and photojournalist. She is known as one of the early photographers to focus on "marginalized" people of society. Her "An Aperture Monograph" book is one of the most sold photo books in history. And the movie "Fur" (2006, starring Nicole Kidman) tells a fictional version of her life. Do check Diane's work out, she was a true master and still is an inspiration to todays photographers.

• Why are we so attached to photography? We talk about the documentary gene that make people want to record their daily lives for future generations - dating back to the cave man.

• Scott shares some tips to help photographers become better at the craft of photography by following some simple advises that he wished he had known when he started with photography:

• Pay attention to the background.

• Know your gear backwards and forwards.

• Wait on the light.
• Slow down.
• Get to know your subject REALLY well.

• Marco's inspirational photo book of the month is called: MOONFIRE by Norman Mailer and is published by TASCHEN (350 pages ca. US-$ 40 / EUR 30). The book documents the probably single most historic event of the 20th century: The moon landing of Apollo 11 on July 20th, 1969. The book has an amazing image quality for 1969 film photography! It's a well-structured visual documentary of the events that lead to the moon landing.

​Thanks for visiting the new PPN site. Marco and I are excited to bring you a new portal for all your photography podcast needs. Our popular mirrorless and inspiration shows are moving over from the Photofocus.com network and we plan to add more original shows. What's really exciting is that we also hope to encourage some of our great friends in the photography podcasting world to bring their own shows to our network. Even more exciting yet is the possibility that you can host your own photo show here. We'll have details on all this very soon. We're in the process of recording our first episodes for the new feed and ask your patience for the next few weeks as we get things going. In the meantime if you have suggestions for us use the contact page. We'd love to hear from you. Thanks.
