walk and talk

jpc2right now i’m at the palm springs photo festival – it has been unreal!  i’ll post more as time permits.

for now, here’s something from this morning when i had the opportunity to talk with john paul capinigro (on the right is a photo i snapped of john paul today). if you’re not familiar with john paul he is an incredibly talented photographer, teacher and creative thinker. he is honest, authentic and inspiring.

this morning, we happened to be walking from one location to another. while we walked, i recorded our conversation (in fact, in the background you’ll hear the ambient noise of our footsteps, birds, street sweepers, cars, etc.). in spite of the ambient sounds, walking and talking makes for an interesting conversational context. even more, what john paul has to say is definitely worth checking out.  in sum, i hope that john paul’s words illuminate your day!

    Hi Chris. I had to listen to this as I am doing an interview with JP which will be published on Focus on Nature News in relation to his workshop in Iceland this summer. Thanks for giving my the soft spots to get JP rolling. Best, EE

    This was so inspiring. Sometimes I wonder why I continue to take more pictures when I have so many already and the world is awash with images of all sorts, some incredibly moving as yours are. Thank you for explaining that my images are my contribution now that I am in the time of life when other contributions have ceased. Learning that no one else can capture the images I capture because no one sees or feels exactly as I do was just what I needed to hear.
