Today I’m joined by Chase Jarvis to talk about his book, website and iPhone app called “The Best Camera is the one that’s with you,” as well as New York photographer Antonio Rosario who tells us about the neat work he is doing to preserve the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens through pictures. I also do a review of the Think Tank 6 piece modular set that was given to me for review purposes (full disclosure). I know you will enjoy this show.

To say that Cirque Du Soleil’s “Love” at the Las Vegas Mirage Hotel was a work of passion would be an easy copout. However, this past week George Starcher and I were given the opportunity to get free tickets to see “Love” and experience the Beatles music in a way that must be seen to be believed. Yes, the show was fantastic; yes, you should make a point of going next time you are in Las Vegas. Those are easy things to say after experienceing the show and the music.
The highlight for George and I was the backstage tour we recorded. In this photo and audio motage recorded backstage, you will meet Ben Stephenson, the Assistant Head Carpenter for the show; and Gavin Whitely, the Audio Production Chair for “Love.” These two guys were filled with knowledge and a passion for their work and the music that leaps into the camera and microphone.
We were most impressed with how what we saw backstage, translated into a polished production that is more about the music than just the entertainment. Thanks to the folks at Cirque du Soleil for a chance to see this show from the inside out. We hope you enjoy this video as much as George and I did.
The music you hear is NOT the Beatles it’s a cover band

UPDATE: The deadline has passed. Thanks to those who turned in questions. We will announce the winners during the show. I hope to put it out later this week.
Photographer, author and consultant Andrew Darlow of The Imaging Buffet will be on a show scheduled to air this month, and we’ve come up an idea. Just send a question about printing photographs via the comments in this message and Andrew will do his best to answer them all during the show. We are recording this segment this coming week so please get those questions in. He’ll also give away 2 signed copies of his upcoming book, Pet Photography 101, a signed 11×14-inch poster and a 30 minute private phone consultation to four people who post questions on this post. Topics to consider asking about include: How to make your prints match your screen better; How to find good places to bring your files to print; What inkjet printer is right for a specific need; and applications to use to retouch and print photos.
CONTEST IS OVER
Deadline for the questions will be end of day Monday October 5th. A winner will be chosen from those who comment on this post only by Monday at 11:59p.m. PST.
Now it’s your turn-help us make this a great show!
