Thank you. Lots of podcasts on photography talk about other things, few discuss actual photos. More would be great! Thanks again. Really enjoyed hearing you talk about your photos. Thank you.

I thought this was a great idea. The mix of approaches and discussions by each worked very well. Certainly gets my vote for doing it again. Great to hear you all together.

Illinois, California, Japan, and Germany! Truly a worldwide podcast! Second, LOVED the podcast. I cast my vote for YES, do this again! Too many podcasts and news articles focus on the equipment or people and not photos. Please do this again, I so enjoyed it.

I do think it would be helpful to have the photographs in the downloaded file (as Jeff does with most of his), but I really enjoyed listening to this discussion. More, please, and thank you.

It was truly inspiring for me to listen your discussion about the beautiful images. Please continue the podcast in this form. I love it! I have one comment that your discussion brought to my mind: It's not always about exposing for the highlights :) Photography is all about light and shadow. Especially black and white photography. Overexposing frame on purpose can lead to some interesting shots, images that our eyes can't see in real life. In this shot I overexposed the frame by 1 stop to make my own shadow the main subject in the frame and deliberately overexposing the rest of the frame . I hope you'll find this shot interesting: http://www.flickr.com/photos/piotr_golebiowski/3944545608/ Keep up the great work guys, and I can't wait for the next episode.

I learned more about what goes into making really great images from this podcast than the last three photography books that I read. I cannot wait for the next episode!

It never occurred to me until you mentioned it, that the photography podcasts which I listen to focus primarily on gear, technique, inspiration and process, but spend very little time analyzing the output - actual images. I love this new direction, and I look forward to future episodes. Thank you, Scott I just finished listening to the most recent podcast and I have to say that I really enjoyed it.

Loved the photographs and the discussion from your (by now) very familiar voices. Perhaps the best PCN episode to date. We all know how much our perception of an artist or our knowledge of the context of an artwork affects the way we see the work but hearing you all talk about the pieces changed the way I saw the results. (Particularly true of Jeff's observation about the tree trunk in Martin's shot.) Would love to see some prints one day. Perhaps a roaming PCN exhibition?

Some of you do this individually in your own podcasts, but never as a group. Also really enjoyed how technical limitations (film/digital, formats, metering) affect the artistic process. Well done.
