Cason · October 9, 2006

I'm there for round 2.

JimM · October 9, 2006

Count me in.

rainforest1155 · October 9, 2006

Great stuff - I listened to the first round just yesterday. A suggestion though: Please try to find a setting to record it louder this time. I had to crank up the volume to maximum and still put my ears on the speaker to understand anything. I got the MP3 8KHz recording.

Thanks,
Sebastian

dogwood · October 9, 2006

Glad to see another one. I'll do my best to dial in on this one-- sounds like great topics too.

Andy, I hate to be a nit-picker, but I'm easily confused...

Time is 9 - 10 PM, what time-zone? Please express answer as EST, PST, etc or in terms of GMT time.

Thanks

Andy is there any way of getting these recorded and put online in mp3 format ? - I'll happily help with the conversion etc - for us out-of-timezone'ers sometimes this is tricky to line up (and not to mention expensive).

re-read my first post please, it's all there

bham · October 11, 2006

Just a suggestion Andy for this roundtable, since he is discussing portraits, maybe including links here to examples in this thread so that those of us listening in can view when he talks about examples. Sometimes its easier to show an example than to explain it orally. Just an idea.

JimFuglestad · October 12, 2006

Hi everyone... I'm happy to see the early interest - and honored that Andy asked me to do this.

Candid portraiture is my passion... I love it. Kids being kids is just so great... seniors asking "aren't you going to tell me what to do?" is priceless when they love their results.

I look forward to our conversations!

A couple examples of more recent work...

Khaos · October 15, 2006

I see natural light is big for you. Very nice. I'm interested. Hopefully I'll be free then.

rdlugosz · October 18, 2006

I plan on attending.

Steve Cavigliano · October 18, 2006

I marked this one on my calendar

I have always loved your candids Jim

I have been getting more and more into people shooting and would love to hear about what you have learned, works and doesn't work.

I really like the images you posted in this thread

One thing though, you really need a more professional looking watermark, IMO

I dunno if you just watermarked a few for this post, or not. But your work is so good, I would hate for people to think less of it due to the amatuerish WM

I'd Like to join in. I have been a Jim fan since the Sony days.

Bump for a reminder for everyone else. I almost forgot about this.

ziggy53 · November 8, 2006

Just a few additional questions (not necessarily limited to Jim):

1) Wardrobe recommendations and wardrobe changes. What do you recommend and do you encourage changes during the shoot?

2) Skin and complexion problems. Do you try to compensate or correct?

3) Photographer's Assistant?

4) Reflectors for outdoor fill?

5) Do you adjust for subjects sensitive about their weight?

6) People and their Pets?

7) Any "mental" preparation or mindset? (I know this one is pretty individual and personal, but ...)

Thanks,

ziggy53

Ann McRae · November 9, 2006

Thank You Jim

Thank You Andy and SmugMug for this.

It was really nice to hear your voices!

For those that did not catch it, Jim answered my technical questions and business questions quite thoroughly (without my even asking!!!). I highly recommend catching the recorded version.

Jim certainly provided the groundwork for lots of thinking for me, as I have totally steered away from paid portraiture. As well, Jim reinforced what I knew about him and his style from 'the early days'. It was really great.

I am looking forward to some PSP techniques from Jim.

And another thought came to me - what about a shootout where the focus isn't great landscapes but street or portrait photography?

Help..I can't listen in
OK, so help me out here. I click on the RSS link and with FF2 I get to listen to about 30 sec before it stops. Same happens when I use GoogleReader. When I try the iTunes link with GR I get to listen to Andy with the chipmunk double speed voice

for 50 min!!!

Help me before I harm a chipmunk.....

If you save this link (right-mouse-click and then "Save Link As", 23MB file size), it's an MP3 file, which you can open in Windows Media Player or similar:

AntoineD · November 11, 2006

seems like an interesting thing to do

I've just got to know it, but I'll listen to it through iTunes.

So, next step is a videoconference through iChat?
