The Secrets of Digital Imaging

After speaking about reinventing yourself last episode, I decided to take my own medicine. In the last week or two, I have committed to start the portraiture part of my life-long involvement in photography. Here, on this podcast, I explain what’s happened and what steps I’m taking, including what equipment I’m purchasing.

By the way, I’m doing this with “short pockets”, a limited amount of available funds. So, you will hear of my purchasing and my reasoning for the expenditure.
