On Monday, February 23rd, had the pleasure of being on The View From the Bay - a wonderful afternoon San Francisco Bay Area show on KGO-TV Channel 7, hosted by Spencer Christian and Janelle Wang.
We did a five-minute segment on taking family photos like a pro - it went very well and was a blast to do!
We talked about taking great photos with any camera, and I showed 10 slides on how to easily improve your picture taking through simple techniques and fun camera functions.
We also discussed how backing up your digital images is so important, and to do it with reliable drives like Lacie hard drives (great desktop and rugged mobile hard drives I've used for years in my business), or Delkin's archival gold DVDs (for which I burn my thousands of images on to for safe keeping - 100 to 300 year discs).
I also showed how to display your images in fun ways through Apple's iLife '09/iPhoto program (showing an album we had printed from a trip to Disneyland), or buying wonderful archival albums with style from Kolo.com
When I came home and watched it, and I was jazzed- sometimes it's hard to remember how things like that went (and sure I'd love to be 30 lbs less!) but I was very pleased how it flowed.
Crazy, it felt like it went a minute and a half, but turned out to be exactly 5 minutes long as we planned. I also received a message from another producer of a local CBS show on The CW (Bay Area focus), complimenting my segment. We booked another tv interview for the fall (sometime in November). I'll add it here once we have firm dates.
The show and hosts of The View From the Bay were pleased as well and I thank them for the opportunity- a great professional staff of wonderful people putting together a top-notch show. This is what I'm working toward- to be known as that funny guy on tv that teaches people all about photography. The PhotoGuru.
