Podcast Links Page
All of the weblinks for the online digital content mentioned in the podcasts can be found at https://darkerskies.wordpress.com/podcast
The podcasts do look at the technical elements of photography from time to time, however, the processes of image-making, the photography itself, and the photographers who make those fantastic images are the main focus of the podcast. Generally, the podcast looks at the image, the process of taking photographs, and not the equipment used.

- 35 years or more after seeing it as a tennage photographer just starting to take images, I've rewatched the BBC Arena documentary 'Mentioned in Dispatches' about Vietnam war photographer Tim Page. I thought I'd capture some brief thoughts about Tim's images, his influence on my photography and how the documentary looks now.
- In the podcast: A catchup about what's been happening and the plans of the podcast, photobooks etc, and in the links, I take a look at one of my early heroes Vietnam war photographer Tim Page who died in August 2022. Tim had a huge influence on me as a young photographer. The 'Mentioned in Dispatches' BBC documentary especially sparked my interest in photojournalism.
