I hope this story is going to be more than a shameless plug for probably the most fabulous photo- magazines is a wrong word but by the lack of any better- magazine called Lenswork. Their web site could use some cleaning up and perhaps so there pdfs but that aside, please take a moment and listen to the fantastic interviews Brooks Jensen has made with so many photographers, printers, people involved in the photo business.
Yesterday on my way back from a short stay in Turku I listened to 5 interviews by him and 1 by 1 one they stroke a chord. If I had time I would certainly attempt to summarize all what is said but I realize already now that would be a vain attempt to add something. These interviews are on the Extended DVD and from what I can tell after a little search not on the web site. But here are the publicly available podcasts, also very good although some might be more interesting to you than others, depending on your mood or needs.
This is the list of .mp3 I listened to yesterday, maybe you can find them or ask for them. I love these and I might, if you insist, summarize them for you...
