As mentioned on the last roundtable, our second ever Pro Photo Show LIVE is coming next week. We’ll have a panel discussing photography, taking your questions, and sharing ideas. All of you will be able to tune in live and join the party. Join the chat room, give feedback, call in, and ask questions. Let your voice be heard on the photography topics of the day.

This is all happening on Sept 13th 2011, at 5:30PM PST/8:30PM EST. The TalkShoe episode listing is here, and that’s where you’ll go at showtime.

Mark it on your calenders and come join the fun on PPS LIVE. We’ll see you there!

Today’s Panel... Gavin SeimDenns ZerwasKerry GarrsonBarry Howel

On this roundtable we go LIVE with listeners in the chatroom and calling in. There were a few glitches but for a first live show it came off well. Lots of business talk in this one so if you don’t want to hear about things like Facebook marketing, use the time indexes below to skip segments.

 

This is a live show. Uh no, not the PPS live show. I just thought this would make the post a bit cooler 😉 Gav

NOTE: Due to a double link the feed iTunes was pulling the previous episode for the first hour or so. If this happened to you, delete the redundant episode. Then right click Pro Photo Show in your podcast list and choose “Show All Podcast Episodes”. #76 will show up again and should be the updated file when you re-download.
