Here’s the Photo Talk Plus Extra that we filmed on May 3rd  with Thomas Hawk live, on location at SmugMug Headquarters. Chris MacAskill (aka Baldy) leads the tour, and you can also see Don MacAskill, Ivan Makarov, the adorable Katherine Cheng, & Markham Bennett (aka “Guns”) along the way – lots of the Smuggie Family! I love those huge photos on the walls, and I’m totally jealous of the chef. I want her to come live with me!

We love SmugMug – they are one of our show sponsors and not only do they help make our show possible, but they are such a great company for photographers and they support our community with excellent services and products. Make sure you check them out – you won’t be disappointed.

Episode 22 of Photo Talk Plus is available to view on YouTube. Cohost Thomas Hawk and I had a great time interviewing Joe Azure, who is an all around great photographer and has taken amazing and iconic photos of the Golden Gate Bridge. He shared his experiences and advice with us about shooting the bridge, as well as other scenes and long exposure photography with filters.  Joe and our other wonderful panelists: Vincent Mo of Google Photos, Brad Sloan, Vivienne Gucwa, Suzanne Haggerty and Keith Barrett of Vidcast Network discussed a variety of topics including the new Google+ iPhone app, the NEX 7, and the top photos of the previous week.
